I Am the Disease

This place once was beautiful
Now it's the wasteland that I live
I was a child eyes so bright
And full of hope
Until the vultures picked apart
Everything I had to give

I am the disease
Well-oiled death machine
The hourglass lies shattered
And I'm running out of time
Murderous fantasies
Mutate reality
Long past expiration
Now it's time to say
Time to say goodbye

I find no joy in being conscious
(I am the one who cried wolf)
Awaiting slumber, lying sleeplessly awake
(At least a hundred times before)
I am the Jesus, the Judas, and the Pontius
(But now he's standing here before me)
Blood stained to the altar
From the cross I have betrayed
(Flesh between his teeth
My knees collapsing to the floor)

I am the disease
Well-oiled death machine
The hourglass lies shattered
And I'm running out of time
Murderous fantasies
Mutate reality
Long past expiration
Now it's time to say
Time to say goodbye
