At Sickness

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can't believe they let me see the way they fight Eat, sleep, deny Like a pair of starving dogs being trained to bite Under gross fluorescent lights [Pre-Chorus] Why did you bring me here? And if I'm really home, then why Why does it feel so strange? I'm gonna burn it down Sweep the ashes off of what remains [Chorus] Operate like this is all a nightmare I'm not supposed to be here The steady pace, the bitter taste And cold tears I don't wipe away any more Hell, I wish I was only depressed I'm starved of all things but your stress I get three square a day, and the excess I pray Make it stop, what for? I'll meet you at sickness, I'm sure [Verse 2] Bury my face in this earthquake Cover my ears, for heaven's sake I woke up rolling down the hill Perhaps something played the games That lovers never will [Pre-Chorus] How could you leave us here? This one looks at me like a TV But why don't they hear me scream? As I hop aboard this burning wreck, and head right for the sun I'm done [Chorus] 'Cause that's the way I'm gonna end this nightmare I'm not supposed to be here The steady pace, the bitter taste And cold tears I don't wipe away any more Hell, I wish I was only depressed I'm starved of all things but your stress I get three square a day, and the excess I pray Make it stop, what for? I'll meet you at sickness, I'm sure [Bridge] A stolen glance at your diary I couldn't keep it shut I advanced, you'd failed to keep it locked Forever lost Face down, wide awake Sound dies, meanings change Mind breaks, tongue turns Words that follow have no place They have no place, but cannot wait They cannot wait once they start You're just so good at breaking my heart [Chorus] I'm gonna end this nightmare I'm not supposed to be here The steady pace, the bitter taste And cold tears I don't wipe away any more Hell, I wish I was only depressed I'm starved of all things but your stress I get three square a day, and the excess I pray Make it stop, what for? I'll meet you at sickness, I'm sure
