Afflicted Lyrics

This feverish feeling
Longlasting and fleeting
I yearn for the day
A breath can fill my lungs again
Then take me away

I taste the poison everyday

So take me away
From everything that's kept me sick
Holding onto this pain
Will only bring me misery

I'll never be the last one standing
A fact of life and now I must face it
This sickness inside
Won't let me hide
God knows I've tried
Discarded, unwanted
A product of the forgotten
I hope someday I'll find
The strength to feel alive

Take me away
From all my suffering
Please bury me
With all of my misery
Until I feel the rain
And it helps me wash this pain away

I taste the poison everyday

Even though these moments are fleeting
I just know I don't want you to save me
This fever is what keeps my heart beating
And I doubt I'll ever even save myself

I'll never be the last one standing
A fact of life and now I must face it
This darkness inside
Has never been a friend of mine
Discarded, unwanted
A product of the forgotten
I hope someday I'll find
The strength to feel alive

Take me away
From all my suffering
Please bury me
With all of my misery
Until I feel the rain
And it helps me
Wash this pain away
I taste the poison everyday

Even though these moments are fleeting
I just know I don't want you to save me
This fever is what keeps my heart beating
And I doubt I'll ever even save myself

I taste the poison everyday

Take me away
(Take me away, take me away.)
Please bury me
(Bury me. Won't you bury me?)
With all of my misery
Until I feel the rain
And it helps me
Wash this pain away
I taste the poison everyday
