Verse 1:
Some people are born sick even when it’s not deserved
So they live their lives in pain and over time, it’s getting worse
While some bruises may heal, something else starts to hurt
You feel like a walking corpse as you’re suffering with a curse
Some diseases can’t be cured and there’s more that we just discovered
How much longer can we wait? How much longer must we suffer?
Cause we’re running out of time, we can’t sit and wait to die
It is time somebody took a chance to save a lot of lives
And so I’m willing to make a change, no matter what the cost
I’ll prevent future deaths, no more lives will be lost
Even though I’m getting weaker and my body’s feeling cold
I’m continuing to fight it, I won’t let it take control
I’m so close to find the key on how to live a little longer
Bout to turn it all around and make myself a little stronger
I’m not gonna let it kill me, I’ve been at this all my life
What I’m doing isn't crazy, I just want to do what’s right

[HOOK]
I'm slowly dying wondering what I did to get this
Done nothing wrong yet I still urge to want forgiveness
I try to be the hero but became the villain
Am I the cure or am I just another illness?

Verse 2:
Even though I found what I was looking for
I got what I wanted but got something more
Don’t know if it’s worsened or the best
But let’s say that what I took, there’s a couple side effects
I feel something taking over, don’t know what but it is monstrous
Creeping up within the darkness in the back of my own conscience
This is like a different side of me I really shouldn’t like
But dangerous as it seems, I feel it’s helping me survive
Technically this was reason why I did this in the first place
I consider this as progress to avoid meeting a darker fate
I was close to death, now I never felt more alive
Like before, I was in a coffin, now I’ve been revived
So you wanna make the argument that somehow I am still sick?
Take a look at me, I’m more healthy than I’ve ever been
I have found the medicine, you aren’t smart to notice it
And if it starts to lose effect, I’ll take a higher dose of it

[HOOK]
I'm slowly dying wondering what I did to get this
Done nothing wrong yet I still urge to want forgiveness
I try to be the hero but became the villain
Am I the cure or am I just another illness?

Verse 3:
It’s been stabilizing but I can’t get rid of it
But somehow I don’t want to, almost like I am addicting it
We were going nowhere so I took a chance and knew the risks
I tried to make the remedy, instead I got a different sickness
Now it’s causing me to push the ones I love away
Because all they see is someone on a slow decay
What’s this new infection I inherited?
Tried to cure a current virus but I got a brand new variant
I can’t control it, I can’t stop taking it
Cause it’s the only way to keep the other half from breaking in
Believe me when I say that I don’t want to do it
I just don’t have other options ridding myself of this nuisance
I’m not a bad man and I don’t want to be
I don’t want to destroy the world around me
Tried preventing death but what I got in return
Is something that’s turned me cold blooded and sinister

[HOOK]
