The Infection

In the back of my mind I can
Barely even remember when
There was nothing left to hide and
She had found a way inside, then
I was forced to walk alone
Living in an empty home
All I wanted was to hide and
Try to numb the ache inside
And I'm still afraid of the light
And a thousand voices share their laughter at my demise
Now if I am to survive
The infection must die
Murder the beast that's been eating me alive
The infection must die
Nothing left but a broken man
Terrified of everything
Nothing left of his foolish pride, his
Fond memories slowly die, then
As he wakes again alone
Still a prisoner in his home
Ready to allow the dark to
Penetrate his broken heart
And I'm still afraid of the light
And a thousand voices share the laughter at his demise
Now if I am to survive
The infection must die
Murder the beast that's been eating me alive
The infection must die
Now if I am to survive
(Now I must survive)
The infection must die
Murder the beast that's been eating me alive
(Murder the beast)
The infection must die
This is where I draw the line
(Now I draw the line)
This infection must die
(This infection must die)
Give me release from this demon of mine
(Demon of mine)
The infection must die
The infection must die
