Let Me Fade

Your veins are burning from the touch I gave
I spread like fever you can't escape
Every heartbeat sickens in your chest
I'm the toxin you can't suppress

You keep me close, though I rot inside
Why won't you cut the cord tonight

I'm a sickness in your skin
A poison you let in
Let me fade, let me die
Stop keeping this alive
I'm the virus you can't hold
I'll consume until you're cold
Release me, set me free
Don't bleed because of me

In your silence, I can hear you choke
A fragile body underneath the smoke
Every kiss corrodes, every word's a wound
You keep me breathing, but it kills you too

Break the tether
Pull me apart
Erase my name
From your heart
Cut me out
Before I spread
Don't love a curse
That's better off dead

I'm a sickness in your skin
A poison you let in
Let me fade, let me die
Stop keeping this alive
I'm the virus you can't hold
I'll consume until you're cold
Release me, set me free
Don't bleed because of me

I'm your disease
Let me go
