Afflicted

This feverish feeling Long-lasting and fleeting I yearn for the day A breath can fill my lungs again Then take me away (I taste the poison everyday) So take me away From everything that's kept me sick Holding onto this pain Will only bring me misery I'll never be the last one standing A fact of life and now I must face it This sickness inside Won't let me hide, God knows I've tried Discarded, unwanted, a product of the forgotten I hope someday I'll find the strength to feel alive Take me away from all of my suffering Please bury me with all of my misery Until I feel the rain And it helps me wash this pain away I taste the poison everyday Everyday Even though these moments are fleeting I just know I don't want you to save me This fever is what keeps my heart beating And I doubt I'll ever even save myself I'll never be the last one standing A fact of life and now I must face it This darkness inside Has never been a friend of mine Discarded, unwanted, a product of the forgotten I hope someday I'll find the strength to feel alive Take me away from all of my suffering Please bury me with all of my misery Until I feel the rain And it helps me wash this pain away I taste the poison everyday Even though these moments are fleeting I just know I don't want you to save me This fever is what keeps my heart beating And I doubt I'll ever even save myself I taste the poison everyday Take me away Take me away, take me away Please bury me Bury me, won't you bury me? Until I feel the rain And it helps me wash this pain away I taste the poison everyday Everyday
