[Verse 1]
Mixing pills with emotional vices
Disagreement to physical violence
Hate in my veins multiplies like a virus
Working my demons out with exorcises
[Pre-Chorus]
When I reach out for help
Nobody's home
All that you promised
It left me feeling all alone
So everybody's gonna know
[Chorus]
You're the sickness inside my head
You make me wish I'm dead
Feels like I'm insane
Trade my pride for punishment
Sickness inside my head
You make me wish I'm dead
I can't deal with the pain
Trade my pride for punishment
[Verse 2]
Every day it's the same old story
Tired eyes cause my memory's blurry
[Pre-Chorus]
When I reach out for help
Nobody's home
All that you promised
It left me feeling all alone
(Feeling all alone)
Everybody already knows
[Chorus]
You're the sickness inside my head
You make me wish I'm dead
Feels like I'm insane
Trade my pride for punishment
Sickness inside my head
You make me wish I'm dead
I can't deal with the pain
Trade my pride for punishment
[Breakdown]
Trade my pride for punishment
Trade my pride for punishment
[Bridge]
Taking all these pills
Trying to keep myself happy
Lying through my teeth
So my life means something
Don't know what I did, don't know what I said
Don't know how to fix everything I made
Pushing you away, now I'm pulling you back in
Don't feel any better so I'll be here pretending
Don't know what I did, don't know what I said
I can fix everything
[Chorus]
You're the sickness inside my head
You make me wish I'm dead
Feels like I'm insane
Trade my pride for punishment
Sickness inside my head
You make me wish I'm dead
I can't deal with the pain
Trade my pride for punishment
[Outro]
Trade my pride for punishment
It's the sickness inside my head
Trade my pride for punishment
Trade my pride for punishment
Trade my pride for punishment
Trade my pride for punishment
Trade my pride for punishment
