"Sickness Unto You" lyrics

"Sickness Unto You"

I, I give in
I am through
My sickness unto you
I give in
I am through
My sickness unto you

I give in
I am through
My sickness unto you
I give in
I am through
My sickness unto you

I felt your heart stop beating
With my own two hands
I felt my life lose meaning
I'll never be whole again

I held you in my arms
As she injected you with death
We made you feel like there was nothing wrong

It won't stop replaying in my head
The opened eyes and mouth of my beloved
Who now is dead

I felt your heart stop beating
With my own two hands
I felt my life lose meaning
I'll never be whole again

I watched you start to fall
So I eased you to the ground
You looked both panicked and at peace

It won't stop replaying in my head
The opened eyes and mouth of my beloved
Who now is dead

I, I give in
I am through
My sickness unto you
I give in
I am through
My sickness unto you

My sickness unto you

(A part of me is fucking dead
My lungs have filled up with regret
For every day I was away
I'll never be whole again)

A part of me is fucking dead
My lungs have filled up with regret
For every day I was away
I'll never be whole again

A part of me is fucking dead
My lungs have filled up with regret
For every day I was away
I'll never be whole again

It won't stop replaying in my head
The opened eyes and mouth of my beloved
Who now is dead

I, I give in
I am through
My sickness unto you
I give in
I am through
My sickness unto you
My sickness unto you
My sickness unto you


Writer(s): Paulo Gregoletto, Matthew Heafy, Corey Beaulieu
"Sickness Unto You" was written from Matt Heafy's experience when his dog died. Paolo Gregoletto told Kerran, "That was one of the most personal songs on the record, and I feel like Matt's usually best with that. There's a lot of empathy in him, and when things like that happen it really affects him on a large scale and that comes through in the lyrics."
