I Wanna Be Your Disease

1, 2, 3, go -

I want to be your disease

Force you down hard to your knees

To pray to a God you thought you’d never need

And never took seriously

There’ll be no technology

And no cure you can buy to defeat me

I want to be your disease

Lighten and disrupt your sleep

Pull bitter tears from your arrogant eyes

Salty like humility

I want you to listen to me

I want to make you sorry

Sorry for all of the people you hurt

Cheated and lied to and worse

I want to be your disease

A catalyst for reckoning

With all of the harm you have done to the earth

And all of your vile and hateful words

You had every advantage

And took it all for granted

Silencing anyone who questioned your worth

Maybe now you will listen

I want to be your disease

Draw it out painfully

Plenty of time for the truth to sink in

That this is one deal you can’t win
