Deadweight

Her love infected me like a virus
She loved it when I would scream in pain
it was a slow, creeping infection that spread into my soul
I felt lost in her raging thunderstorm and cold cold rain

There was no feelings, no emotions after I got sick
I could only take comfort in the dark coolness of the basement
I hold onto the memories that used to be me
but those are slowly fading, slowly sinking - going dormant

Her love made me terminally ill, forever damaged
and I didn't even notice the changes until it was too late
Acid boils and bubbles in my stomach, seeping out from my soul
I am just a hollow of a man, now I'm just deadweight

I no longer see the colors all around me
the music I used to hear is now silent
there is only a slight ringing I hear in the dead silence in my head
I feel like a dark shade of gray, bland and translucent

How did I become this way? I don't even know how
I just remember, slightly, seeing her from across a room
our eyes locked and she smiled an evil, wicked smile
On a night so long ago, I fell in love with my Doom

Her fire was too wild to tame
now I am held against my will, I am her captive
I no longer need a reason to die
I just need a reason to live
