CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE

[Verse 1]
Inside an entity
It hibernates
It doesn't show itself
Until it is too late

Coincidentally
I've been debating
If I'm imagining
The tremors and the aches

Saliva spilling out my mouth
And yet my throat is still in drought
I should've know that it would bite me in the back
NOW

[Chorus]
THERE IS A MALADY INSIDE MY SOUL
CAN NOTHING HELP ME TO REGAIN CONTROL?
AND NOW THE AGONY IS TAKING TOLL
SO PROMISE ME YOU'LL HOLD ME IF I LIVE THROUGH THE NIGHT

[Verse 2]
Inside an entity
It stays concealed
How can I ascertain
What's fake and what is real?

But incidentally
I had a feeling
My situation was the
Furthest from ideal

Kill every inkling of a doubt
'Cause now my legs are giving out
If I'm contagious
Then you're gonna wanna
GET
OUT

[Chorus]
I KNOW I'M STRUGGLING TO FIT THE ROLE
ISN'T THERE ANYTHING TO MAKE ME WHOLE?
AND I CAN STOMACH IT, OR SO I'M TOLD
BUT PROMISE ME YOU'LL HOLD ME SO I'LL LIVE THROUGH THE NIGHT

[Bridge]
Here
And now
I would scream and shout
If I'm allowed to
Don't give out!
No, I don't know what I'd do without you!
Don't you see?
I havе lost command of sublimation
LEAVE ME BE
CAUSE THE DAMAGE HAS BEGUN

[Chorus]
THERE IS A MALADY INSIDE MY SOUL
NOTHING CAN HELP ME TO REGAIN CONTROL
NOW THAT THE AGONY HAS TAKEN HOLD
JUST PROMISE ME YOU'LL CUT ME OFF AND LIVE THROUGH THE NIGHT!

BURN DOWN THE DANGER ZONE, SET IT ALIGHT
I'VE NO CONCERN FOR THINGS LIKE FEAR AND FRIGHT!
THERE'S NO CONTINGENCY, OUR HANDS ARE TIED
SO WHY DON'T I SURRENDER AND GIVE INTO DECAY

EVERY SINGLE SECOND I'VE BEEN WASTING AWAY
