Disease

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Deep Sub-Bass, Low Piano, Organ, Distorted Electric Guitar, Drums]

[Intro]
What’s that sound?
(Coming around)
Something’s wrong
(It’s been too long)

A warning sign
(Out of line)
A little chill
(A greater ill)

[Verse 1]
You don’t notice at first
It’s a little bit strange
A subtle little symptom
(A signal of change)

You tell yourself
(Don’t be sad)
You tell yourself
(It’s nothing bad)

[Refrain]
It’s well known…
(The disease)
Is… full blown
(Systems seize)

That kind of ill…
(Will kill)

[Verse 2]
The warning was there
But nobody heard
Buried in noise
(Beneath every word)

The signal got stronger
The symptoms spread
What could have been treated
(Was left for dead)

[Refrain]
It’s well known…
(The disease)
Is… full blown
(Systems seize)

That kind of ill…
(Will kill)

[Bridge]
What spreads?
(The disease!)

Who dreads?
(The disease!)

When feedback feeds feedback
And stress feeds stress
The system’s a mess…
(From strain to distress)

[Break]
Well known…
(Well known!)

Full blown…
(Full blown!)

Systems seize…
(Systems seize!)

That kind of ill…
(Will kill!)

[Instrumental]
[Distorted Guitar]
[Organ Swell]
[Drums Build]
[Deep Bass Pulse]

[Final Refrain]
Well known
(The disease)
Is… full blown
(Systems seize)

[Outro]
That kind of ill…
(Will kill)

Well known…
(The disease!)

Full blown…
(Systems seize!)

That kind of ill…
(Will kill!)
