Afflicted

This feverish feeling

Long-lasting and fleeting

I yearn for the day a breath can fill my lungs again

Then take me away

I taste the poison everyday

So take me away

From everything that's kept me sick

Holding onto this pain

Will only bring me misery

I'll never be the last one standing

A fact of life and now I must face it

This sickness inside

Won't let me hide, God knows I've tried

Discarded, unwanted, a product of the forgotten

I hope someday I'll find the strength to feel alive

Take me away from all of my suffering

Please bury me with all of my misery

Until I feel the rain

And it helps me wash this pain away

I taste the poison everyday

Everyday

Even though these moments are fleeting

I just know I don't want you to save me

This fever is what keeps my heart beating

And I doubt I'll ever even save myself

I'll never be the last one standing

A fact of life and now I must face it

This darkness inside

Has never been a friend of mine

Discarded, unwanted, a product of the forgotten

I hope someday I'll find the strength to feel alive

Take me away from all of my suffering

Please bury me with all of my misery

Until I feel the rain

And it helps me wash this pain away

I taste the poison everyday

Even though these moments are fleeting

I just know I don't want you to save me

This fever is what keeps my heart beating

And I doubt I'll ever even save myself

I taste the poison everyday

Take me away

(Take me away, take me away)

Please bury me

(Bury me, won't you bury me?)

Until I feel the rain

And it helps me wash this pain away

I taste the poison everyday

Everyday
