I'm killing the messenger, I've got a lead there is a system Who's pulling the strings? Who's cutting my wings? As time reveals a sky above the clouds are fading, fading, fading I cannot die, I will not go So many sleepless nights This flame has withered more than you ever know So many sudden awakenings Up in a high and down in a low So many sleepless nights So many sudden awakenings This disease eats me up from within The sickness locks me in, there's no escape for me This is it, I will not be afraid I'm not giving in, no, I'm not giving in ♪ Oh, I know now that it is done for me Escape the void, be free I need to know which way it could go Where is that solid ground where I can hold my crown? I'm sick of living in a fucking nightmare, I will never go So many sleepless nights This flame has withered more than you ever know So many sudden awakenings Up in a high and down in a low This disease eats me up from within The sickness locks me in, there's no escape for me This is it, I will not be afraid I'm not giving in, I said I'm not fucking giving in The hell I sing keeps reminding me There's no escape for me Won't lie, I'd rather be sick ♪ Yes, I'd rather be sick than follow your lead Yes, I'd rather be sick than follow your lead, yeah Yes, I'd rather be sick than follow your lead Yes, I'd rather be sick than follow your lead Yes, I'd rather be sick than follow your lead Yes, I'd rather be sick than follow your lead This disease eats me up from within The sickness locks me in, there's no escape for me This is it, I will not be afraid I'm not giving in, I said I'm not fucking giving in I'm not looking for a remedy The sickness locks me in, there's no escape for me I feel it buried underneath my skin I'd rather be sick than follow your lead I'd rather be sick than follow your lead
