These stains you've left in me
Will not fade or wash away
These chains that enslave me
Will not break, despite the pain
Memories ****** every hour of every day
The man I used to be threw it all away

You are my breath
You are my death
You are what's left of me
You are my calm
You are my storm
You're my insanity
You are everything that I could ever need
You are everything I hate
You're my disease
My disease

The faith you've lost in me
This curse won't fade, it's breakin me
My broken heart still bleeds
Drowning me in apathy
Tragedy murdering the hope that still remains
Disease replacing me
Burnin in my veins

You are my breath
You are my death
You are what's left of me
You are my calm
You are my storm
You're my insanity
You are everything that I could ever need
You are everything I hate
You're my disease

You are my breath
You are my death
You are what's left of me
You are my calm
You are my storm
You're my insanity
You are everything that I could ever need
You are everything I hate
You're my disease
My disease

You're my disease

My disease

You're my disease

You're my disease
These are song lyrics, about how love is not perfect, but well worth it, if we fight for the one we love, through every moment, from the easiest of trials through the most difficult of all. I wrote this after a conversation with two former fellow band members about how sometimes we can't stop loving the ones who hurt us the most. The founding member passed away in 2009, and the band dissolved, but the lyrics remain although never made public as more than a poem.
