Infection

An infection grows inside my soul

That love can never heal

A malignant growth of broken trust

Now keeps my heartbeat still

 

A fatal hand has made my bed

Where I'm supposed to sleep

I've tried my best to change my fate

But I'm buried way too deep

 

Deprived of truth, I'm filled with lies

It's running through my veins

Broken promises clog my heart

Where infection still remains

 

I'm holding on with all I've got

But I die a little each day

You keep asking for forgiveness

As you turn and walk away

 

An infection grows inside my soul

I've lost the will to fight

I try to tell you how I feel

But you're gone again tonight
