Symptom and Disease
Reasonable Dreams
Poisonous Relationship · Disease Personified · Lively Dark Melodic Pop
#VERSE
You’re the symptom
And I’m the disease
Science might find a cure
But there are no guarantees
My moments with you
Exacerbate your condition
Your emotions flaring up
Won’t go into remission
#PRE-CHORUS
Every test reveals that I cause endless pain for you
Time to head for surgery and slice us in two
#VERSE
When we’re together
Something just feels bad
But EKGs and Sonograms
Won’t give back the life you had
Don’t need a doctor
To make a true diagnosis
’Cause what’s true is that I’m poison to you
All your friends seem to know it
#PRE-CHORUS
Every energizing sunrise leaves you sicker than before
I slither through your veins—pull your emotions to the floor
#CHORUS
The damaged person you’ve become is all because of me
I’ve ruined all your dreams—now I tease your sanity
I promised I’d be good for you, but that was just a sham
You’re the symptom of the sickness that I am
#INSTRUMENTAL
#BRIDGE
I didn’t mean to be this way
Never planned to turn your life to hell
But all I touch rots and decays
Fills your nose with putrid smell
#VERSE
You’re the symptom
And I’m the disease
Don’t let my hands get near your neck
I might start to squeeze
#PRE-CHORUS
Every anguished breath reveals that I’m controlling you
Your only choice is surgery that slices us in two
#CHORUS
The damaged person you’ve become is all because of me
I’ve ruined all your dreams—now I tease your sanity
I promised I’d be good for you, but that was just a sham
You’re the symptom of the sickness that I am
You’re the symptom of the sickness that I am
You’re the symptom of the sickness that I am
