They told me I’m sick
Hide it, get rid of it, bury it
They told me to burn it inside my body
Or my body will burn in the fires of hell

I injected myself with syringes of Anesthesia
Hoping it will lead me to a place where infinity exists
White clouds, white wings, white everything
It was temporary and I find myself burning again

Needles of pain to make the pain go away
The pain never went away
Drowned myself in sorrow hoping for a better day
The day never came

I wanted to talk
But my mouth was glued shut
I wanted to see the light
But darkness was too bright

I forgot who I was
Wear a mask to match
Everyone saw what’s hiding beneath
A life full of grief

I didn’t feel anything
But feeling nothing is feeling everything
I felt everything, everything
Everything full of nothing

I need to find a cure
To be accepted, to be loved
But there was no cure
And I am a sinner

But little did I know that you are too
You are sick too
You are a sinner too
And there’s no cure
