Virus Lyrics

Don’t know when we met

I don’t know when the virus came

Suspect you’ve been there all along

Lying in wait

With no escape

For me

With company

Your thoughts race endlessly

And you’re lost in space

In the quiet comfort of your room

The virus keeps you wide awake

Turning tricks

To get its fix

It gets high on all you’ve hidden

You wither and isolate

Told to love you

And embrace you as my own

Virus as child or lover

Least I'm never left alone

You demand attention

You will be known

But I want to burn your body

And I want to stem your plague

Won't take half-measures with a virus

I can never seem to shake

And through force of will

I'd put you on list of kills

And finally breathing easy

I would whistle

As I watched you waste away

But we both know that you’ll survive

No way to vaccinate or put out your lights

Cause you’ll wait me out

You stare me down

From some corner in my mind

And you’ll infect me to the bottom of my being

The minute I avoid your eyes

And will you be there virus

On my dying day?

Not having pulled the trigger

But unrelenting

All the same?

And will you tell me?

Will I know?

Will I have peace

Or will it always

Always

Be this way?
