Sweet Disease

Well, it’s late…and I don’t really know what else to say. I had a strange day, something profoundly significant stirring from deep within me, stronger with each passing moment. And then I wrote this song. I had the opportunity to record it, so I did. As such, I apologize for any mistakes. I hope someone likes it.

Here are the lyrics:

  I see you walk to me, your smile the light of day

  I feel you come to me; a child of God inveighed

  And like the thunder in the sky we cry together

  We’ll die here. We’ll die here.

 

  It’s getting far beyond our years, this melancholy

  Your fevered breathing as I travel down your body

  We’re like the beauty in the chaos of a flame

  One and the same. One and the same.

 

  I shield you under me, as life is torn asunder

  We reel and tumble through the dark and ride the suffering

  And like the lightning cracks the air, you scorch my soul

  As we grow old. As we grow old.

 

  A demon seizes me as dreams and hope forget me

  I’m feeling queasy as my breathing’s getting heavy

  And as I briefly meet with God, this much I know

  I’ve found my home. I’ve found my home.

 

  This sweet disease in me is leading me astray

  But I’ve known eons as my hand ran down your face

  And like the tempest o’er the sea inside your eyes

  I’ll never die. We’ll never die.
