Lyrics
The Virus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't believe you, 'cause everything's a lie
It lingers on you, I see it in your eyes
You are a poison, there's nothing left to say
But let it be a warning that you will soon decay
Delusional and designed to fail
All your beliefs leave your mind so frail
Head so high you can see the clouds
When you learn your purpose you will fall to the ground
You're no messiah you are far too weak
Your future home lies beneath your feet
Constant agony, inducing misery
And suffering on the ones you love
Conduct your militia that's within your head
For there's a thousand armies that want you dead
Shaking on the ground, and the last thing you see
All your fans lost for laughing in the face of me
Delusional and designed to break
Your mind will quiver and the ground will shake
Head swings low like the chariot
That brings you to nowhere but a city of dross and shit
You wouldn't know what it's like to stay true
So step down off your pedestal for there's no God in you
God in you
Choking on your own words you start to suffocate
Living off your last breath it's already too late
Choking on your own words you start to suffocate
Living off your last breath it's already too late
