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
