Sickness

lyrics

SICKNESS

Her mouth is sweet
Her tongue is sugar coated
But I can see those rotten teeth
She thought I wouldn't notice
I waste my time
And read her mind
But I'm not kind
I'm honest
My mouth is cruel
And deep inside
She doesn't want it
She keeps it hidden
Underneath that clean complexion
I kiss her lips
And she fills me with her infection
Eyes of a snake
She loves to take
With no one there to witness
She scars me red
Fucks with my head
Can't let her spread her sickness
Sick
She's so sick
Sick

I am the pretty hate
That makes you sick inside your world
I am the scar
That will not heal
That's passed from girl to girl
I am that little bitch you fear
Because I'm not afraid
I'm everything that's real
While you know
That you're just a fake
A fake
And you take
And you take
And you take
And you...

She wears a mask
And I don't ask about her past
I smile
And all the time
She struggles for control
While in denial
Identity crisis
Will keep her looking innocent
Self righteousness
Won't hide the dirty
Deceiving intent
She's lost inside herself
So pretty in that little mirror
But I can see that ugliness
And it's becoming clearer
Blood and guts I'm being fucked
While she's a friend to me
Reality is lost
I'm drowning in my enemy
And I can't breathe
No I can't breathe
I can't breathe
No I can't

I am the pretty hate
That makes you sick inside your world
I am the scar
That will not heal
That's passed from girl to girl
I am that little bitch you fear
Because I'm not afraid
I'm everything that's real
And no
I will not break

All I want, all I need
Is just myself back
And the strength to believe
She never ever took that
Wicked words, tangled webs
I can't pretend that I'm dead
Spoon fed her sickness
Candy covered lies
So fucking twisted

Don't tell me that I can't be myself
That I can't be
Don't tell me that I can't be myself
Cause you can't be me

I am the pretty hate
That makes you sick inside your world
I am the scar
That will not heal
That's passed from girl to girl

I am that little bitch you fear
But you will never tell
I'm everything that's ill
And all
All is not well
