There are parasites Scratching away at me inside Telling me stay and they'll provide Deep rooted, always there, they just hide You're an illness that's chronic I'll never be rid of you, there's no tonic I have to manage your symptoms Even though I'm the victim You're better alone, it's just an empty lie But I still believe and can't deny Sometimes these thoughts seem like a lullaby The things they say would make the devil cry You're better alone, is it still a lie? But in the silence, the fear amplifies The words they weave are so toxic I can't breathe my body becomes hypoxic Lie to me I'm living half a life I'm scared this is all I'll let myself become Fear washes over like a flood The words they speak kill in cold blood Kill in cold blood You're better alone, it's just an empty lie But I still believe and can't deny Sometimes these thoughts seem like a lullaby The things they say would make the devil cry You're better alone, is it still a lie? But in the silence, the fear amplifies The words they weave are so toxic I can't breathe my body becomes hypoxic Anchored by the weight of sin I still feel you, under my skin My self worth continues to wane The reaper knows my Godforsaken name
