Incurable

This virus swimming through my brain
Is just enough to keep me sane
This cancer eating out my mind
Is just enough to feel alive


And I'm burning, burning
Consumed by all your lies
And I'm screaming, screaming
Not without a fight


I can see my life in front of me
Every single thread
I can feel my own mortality
Black and blue, and red


This poison surging through my veins
Is just enough to dull the pain
This venom wet upon my lips
Is just enough to help forget


That I'm burning, burning
Consumed by all your lies
And I'm screaming, screaming
But it's too late to fight


I can see my life in front of me
Every single thread
I can feel my own mortality
Black and blue, and red


These toxins filling up my chest
Are just enough to keep my breath...

While I'm burning, burning
To black, and blue, and red
