A Cure for Wellness

Cold and deceived, letting love take its lead

I stood in awe as I watched my hell retreat

I'm 25 and living my life

Crushing the walls of defeat right before my eyes

Crushing defeat right before my eyes

I will not yield at the hands of my guilt

I'd rather break down the walls that entropy built

I am no coward, no fear among these bones

This body is concrete

This will is of stone

I'm not sick, I'm just sick and tired of giving in

You're a conformist, a sheep to follow suit

We're not sick, we're just sick and tired of giving in

I'd sever my legs before I'd follow you

We watched you cower at the sign of smoke

Regret so potent and it makes you choke

You're the reason we live this way

Hearts full of hope

Eyes full of rage

I'm giving up on giving in

I'm backing out, not backing down

I know you want me to submit

I know you want me to submit

Consciousness has become a plague

Spreading corruption to all in its wake

Your pathogenic words tearing through the air

Killing us slowly

I'm not sick

We watched you cower at the sign of smoke

Regret so potent and it makes you choke

You're the reason we live this way

Hearts full of hope

Eyes full of rage

I'm giving up on giving in

I'm backing out, not backing down

You want me to admit my life's a lie

With every word you spit full of genocide

If hate's the cure and it makes me well

Then open your mouth and inject yourself

When is the last time you felt well?

When is the last time you felt well?

When is the last time you felt well?

When is the last time you felt well?

I know you want me to submit

I know you want me to submit

But I refuse to give in

You've become the contagion
