Patient Zero

I’ve been feeling so strange for the last little while
Can’t wake, can’t sleep, can’t move, can’t smile
I don’t need a doctor
But I could use a priest
Or someone to help contain my inner beast
The emotion is closest to lust
To touch and bite and hold and crush
There’s no place that you can hide
The urge will only intensify
So now I suppose I’ve become what I most feared
Science thwarts God as eternity nears
A disease, an infection, a plague
Whatever you call it
The symptoms aren’t vague
I know that I’ve caught it
The emotion is closest to lust
To touch and hold and bite and crush
There’s no place that you can hide
The urge will only intensify
Would you have the guts
Would you have the guts
Would you have the guts
To look me in the eye and end my life?
Even though I’ve already died
Would you have the spine
Would you have the spine
Would you have the spine
To look me in the eye and sever mine?
Knowing I’d
I’d eat you alive
The emotion is closest to lust
To touch and bite and hold and crush
There’s no place that you can hide
The urge will only intensify
So now my soul is gone
But my body lingers
My life is a cobweb in your fingers
So now my soul is gone
But my body lingers
Your life is a cobweb in my fingers
The emotion is closest to lust
To touch and bite and hold and crush
There’s no place that you can hide
The urge will only intensify
