I open my eyes See my life through the lens of another Have I ever been truly alive? Am I trapped in the laws of time or lawless forever? I'm sick, so sick of waiting I'm sick of wanting it all I'm sick of holding it back I'm sick of the rise, sick of the fall Sing through the ages, never wanting to know why Contagion, what am I saving if not saving my own life? I have no fear of my demise Run for the taking, this is our time Through the ridges on the rise Torn out pages, gave me a place to hide I'm sick, so sick of waiting I'm sick of wanting it all I'm sick of holding it back I'm sick of the rise, sick of the fall Sing through the ages, never wanting to know why Contagion, what am I saving if not my own life? Memories faded from the corners of my mind Contagion, what am I saving if not my own life? Fly little angel of pestilence Spread your wings like disease ridden flesh Fly little angel of pestilence Spread your wings like disease ridden flesh I am not driven by fate, I am not frozen in time It doesn't go the other way, hollow out my insides Sing through the ages, never wanting to know why Contagion, what am I saving if not my own life? Contagion Contagion, what am I saving if not my own life? I am not frozen in time It doesn't go the other way, hollow out my insides
