Lyrics:
As blood drips down my wrist
I guess things took a darker twist
I look at myself
I've invited demons off the shelf
I know that you want me dead
One day you'll take my breath
Until there's nothing left
No heartbeat in my chest
If I keep going on like this
Sinking my life into the abyss
I've lied to the ones I love
I'm reaching out to God above
Living through this disease
Has brought me down to my knees
I can finally see
You have ensnared me
I feel like you've possessed me
Every drinking spree ends in misery
It was all so fun at first
Now I'm headed into a hearse
You want to push me off the ledge
I know you want me dead
Yet I drink, and drink, and drink
Vomit, and bleed, and cry, and writhe
This has become my life
So many times I've given up
When will this ever fucking stop?
Pouring this poison in my cup
Drinking like it's never enough
I know that you want me dead
One day you'll take my breath
Until there's nothing left
No heartbeat in my chest
If I keep going on like this
Sinking my life into the abyss
I've lied to the ones I love
I'm reaching out to God above
Living through this disease
Has brought me down to my knees
I can finally see
You have ensnared me
I'm gonna get some help
Before my future melts
When will I learn from the past?
Every relapse hurts more than the last
I don't want to die like this
I don't even want to live like this
There is no more bliss
This time I really gotta quit
I know that you want me dead
One day you'll take my breath
Until there's nothing left
No heartbeat in my chest
If I keep going on like this
Sinking my life into the abyss
I've lied to the ones I love
I'm reaching out to God above
Living through this disease
Has brought me down to my knees
I can finally see
You have ensnared me
As of now, I haven't drank in years
But this is how shitty it can be
I got outside help, and through that, even divine intervention
If you were looking for a sign to get some help, this might be it
I wrote most of "The Sick EP" during my drinking days
Admittedly, I recorded the vocals and released it when I was already sober
I felt weird about it, but the songs were stories of how I lived and experiences I had while mostly living in denial
This song is the darker side of that lifestyle
After I wrote about those fun times, came the bleeding and the dark thoughts
I think I wrote the intro of "Sick" way later, once I was sober and saw my past denial
