[Lyric] The Sickness (Artisan (Metal))

[Verse 1]
You are hiding inside of me
I feel you become a part of life's dreams
It speaks in words of pain
I'll hold you in and bear your flame

[Chorus]
You'll feel this, you'll hear this
Your new soul, I am the sickness

[Verse 2]
I'll make your candle flicker
Take the air and turn off the lights
I'll still feed when you are dead and gone
I'll live beyond your winter

[Chorus]
Opposing, evolving
In control, I am the sickness

[Bridge]
Deep-rooted fears come true
Turning your own defenses back at you
Your new soul, I am the sickness
In control, I am the sickness
It helps transform my world
Calculating, I limit your every move
In effect, I am the sickness
Your new soul, I am the sickness
[Solo: Kragen Lum]

[Refrain]
Yeah!

[Verse 3]
I am transforming your mortal skin
You have now become a callused shell
Of your former self, and I'll keep you low
A yearning spirit in a shackled brain

[Chorus]
Negating, erasing
In effect, I am the sickness

[Verse 4]
Why shouldn't I be longing for the end
When I can't recall a vibrant day
The sun didn't shine upon my face?
Now eternal woe is my fate

[Chorus]
You'll feel this, you'll hear this
Your new soul, I am the sickness

[Outro]
Deep-rooted fears come true
I am the sickness
Deep-rooted fears come true
I am the sickness
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
