Free me of this sickness Get me out of my mind This virus in my body Keeps me awake at night And I wait under the covers Take my drugs, suppress my fever But it's something I can't sweat out The tightness in my throat The aching of my bones Burning behind my eyes oh tell me why why why why I can't shake you off I can't believe it Dust inside my lungs From breathing you in Every cell in me has been contaminated Put me under quarantine Fires burning in my head Don't think I've even left this bed for days Time slips And spills away Keep getting sicker Haven't found a way To treat my symptoms or find my cure I don't know what I'm looking for As the hours pass, all I can think Is how you (went and) infected me And I'm so sick of feeling wrong And coughing up my ******* lungs Every bit of my being's getting worse I became a victim of it first I'm patient zero And until I find you, then I will never be healthy again

Free me of this sickness Get me out of my mind This virus in my body Keeps me awake at night And I wait under the covers Take my drugs, suppress my fever But it's something I can't sweat out The tightness in my throat The aching of my bones Burning behind my eyes oh tell me why why why why I can't shake you off I can't believe it Dust inside my lungs From breathing you in Every cell in me has been contaminated Put me under quarantine Fires burning in my head Don't think I've even left this bed for days Time slips And spills away Keep getting sicker Haven't found a way To treat my symptoms or find my cure I don't know what I'm looking for As the hours pass, all I can think Is how you (went and) infected me And I'm so sick of feeling wrong And coughing up my ******* lungs Every bit of my being's getting worse I became a victim of it first I'm patient zero And until I find you, then I will never be healthy again
