Insidious

I am the disease
I am the plague
I am the dormant curse
Coursing through your veins
You hear my words
But won't speak my name
You beg for release
Yet you cannot escape

Passed down
Generations
I feed insidiously
Upon your mistakes
""I'll try it once but only a taste""
I rip through your synapses
You're forever changed
Forever changed

Now you must
Satiate
The need to numb the pain
So tired of existing
Extend your shaking hand
I will take you away

You have your mother's smile
You've got your father's eyes
And the same affliction
They both try to hide
Too much is never enough
You crave it
Too much is never enough
Appease me now

Your mind resides within my filth
I'll drag you to hell with me

Don't bother fighting
No one gets back up from the bottom
It's not worth standing
Why are you standing?
You're just a coward
Unfaithful unworthy
You deserve not the air you breath
Give up

Why won't you
Satiate
The need to numb the pain
So tired of existing
Extend your shaking hand
I will take you away"
