I’m your disease
You are my prey
You’ll do as I want
You’ll do as I say
I won’t whisper or speak
I won’t shout or scream
You’ll feel my presence
You’ll understand what I mean
You don’t have a voice
I won’t let you sing
I am on your shoulder
Controlling every single thing
You can’t hear me
You can’t make me whole
No matter how much you plead
I won’t release your soul
