LINGER

Slowly, I sink deeper

As it eats me from inside

Holding me, I'm captive

Shackled, left to die

Disease won't go

Sickness, it lingers

Tears taste so bitter

It's killing me

Pretend I'm okay

Infected by this plague

My flesh, it decays

Defective, hope is vain

I waste away, away

How much longer can I take

Before I break

Sickness, it lingers

Tears taste so bitter

It's killing me
