Half Life (feat. Black Coast)

There are parasites
Scratching away at me inside
Telling me stay and they'll provide
Deep rooted, always there, they just hide
You're an illness that's chronic
I'll never be rid of you, there's no tonic
I have to manage your symptoms
Even though I'm the victim
You're better alone, it's just an empty lie
But I still believe and can't deny
Sometimes these thoughts seem like a lullaby
The things they say would make the devil cry
You're better alone, is it still a lie?
But in the silence, the fear amplifies
The words they weave are so toxic
I can't breathe my body becomes hypoxic
Lie to me
I'm living half a life
I'm scared this is all I'll let myself become
Fear washes over like a flood
The words they speak kill in cold blood

Kill in cold blood
You're better alone, it's just an empty lie
But I still believe and can't deny
Sometimes these thoughts seem like a lullaby
The things they say would make the devil cry
You're better alone, is it still a lie?
But in the silence, the fear amplifies
The words they weave are so toxic
I can't breathe my body becomes hypoxic
Anchored by the weight of sin
I still feel you, under my skin
My self worth continues to wane
The reaper knows my Godforsaken name
