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
