in the back of my mind i can
barely even remember when
there was nothing left to hide and
she has found a way inside, then
i was forced to walk alone
living in an empty home
all i wanted was to hide and
try to numb the ache inside
and im still afraid of the light
and a thousand voices share their laughter at my demise

now if i am to survive
the infection must die
murder the beast that's been eating me alive
the infection must die

nothing left but a broken man
terrified of everything
nothing left of his foolish pride, his
fond memories slowly die, then
as he wakes again alone
still a prisoner in his home
ready to allow the dark to
penetrate his broken heart
and im still afraid of the light
and a thousand voices share their laughter at my demise

this is where i draw the line
the infection must die
give me release from this demon of mine
the infection must die
