Infected

And when they said this wasn’t worth its weight in gold 

We chose to clench our fists and spit in their eyes 

Turn a deaf ear, a blind eye 

To all the vultures looking for their chance to pick at our bones 

A plague, disease 

Breaking us down 

Cancer, Red Death 

It’s in our bloodstream eating us alive 

The poison pours down on us from high above 

And seeps in through our skin 

Ravaging our insides 

With every antidote we try and each disaster we avert 

We only add to the price we pay 

We only add to the price we put on our heads 

Scratch us, scratch us till we bleed 

Inject the venom straight into our open wounds 

A plague, disease, cancer, Red Death 

Infected one by one
