I Am

Writhe, twisting pain, stabbing deep, in my brain
Alone
Throb, suffering, tormenting, misery
So bleak

(I am the) sickness inside
I am the pain that you hide
I am the wound that won't heal
I am the madness you feel

Writhe, twisting pain, stabbing deep, in my brain
Alone
Throb, suffering, tormenting, misery
So bleak

Crawling
Stand up on your own feet
(No more)
Crawling
Stand up on your own feet
(No more)

A strange twisting sense of madness
And the all enveloping endless sadness

I am the sickness inside
I am the pain that you hide
I am the wound that won't heal
I am the madness you feel

Chaos that grips my soul
Dominates with complete control
An enemy that won't let me be
Struggling endlessly to be free
Suffering in solitude
A pain that has gradually accrued
A nightmare from which I can't awake
A feeling that I can't seem to shake

I am the poison flowing in your veins
I am the feeling that you can't sustain
I am the pleasure you so desperately crave
I am your master and you are my slave
You are my slave

I am the one who hears your prayer
I am the only one who cares
I will deceive
I am the lie that you believe

The feeling when I'm under your skin
You're so alone
The cursed affair in which we're ensnared
You're so alone
The feeling when I'm under your skin
You're so alone
The cursed affair in which we're ensnared
You're so alone
So alone
