The Sickness

[Verse] It crawls like smoke through a broken door A shadow creeping Always wanting more No face to see No name to speak It finds the strong It hunts the weak [Prechorus] Whispers louder Closer Near It feeds on doubt It feeds on fear [Chorus] The sickness The sickness It’s under my skin A battle I’m losing A war I can’t win It laughs in the silence It lives in the air The sickness The sickness It’s always there [Verse 2] A flicker of light But it never stays Lost in a maze with invisible ways It’s not in my blood But it’s in my head It’s in every word that I never said [Prechorus] It pulls me down It holds me tight It owns the dark It kills the light [Chorus] The sickness The sickness It’s under my skin A battle I’m losing A war I can’t win It laughs in the silence It lives in the air The sickness The sickness It’s always there
