I'm Your Sickness

I'm your sickness
I'm inside you

From a childhood of racist hatred
In a home that didn't appreciate her
Such an angel but she's so mistreated
No-one paid attention to her, they were so conceited
Ripping at her, rip a hole right through her
Crying out for something to consume her
Never wanted it to end up this way
I see opportunity to exploit her shame

I am the sickness inside you
I am the one who denies you
I am the chains that restrain you
I am the the seed ingrained in you
Are you ashamed? (I'm sorry)
Are you ashamed of your weakness?
Are you afraid? (Don't worry)
Are you afraid of your sickness

Not a product of the environment
But the subject of on going torment
Are you strong enough to deal with the shame?
Try to rip the leech from your skin to ease the pain
Not a person but a host to feed off
Just a vessel to invade and become
I'm infectious but at least I warned you
You've mistaken love for a parasite inside you

You know as well as I know
You need me inside you

I'm your sickness
I'm inside you

I can't bring myself to stop hurting you
You deserve better than I can give you
But I'm selfish, so I'll keep on killing you
You can't get away from me 'cuz I'm inside you
I'll just keep on kicking you when you're down
Pick you up, then knock you back down to the ground
If I really cared I'd seperate myself from you
'Cuz I'm your sickness

....I will love you until I kill you
