lyrics

you fell for lust,
but your body was empty.
and you were only searching,
for a manger to be born in.
first you must learn,
you're not some second hand savior,
and i'm having fun inside my furnace alone.
if you'd like to join me,
you must first learn to leave.
oh, sweet disease.

meditating on steeples up high,
in a church on some carnival ride,
and a man in a costume for two,
wants to breathe in the ocean.

and maybe in laughter you'll find how to care,
but you won't find the answer if you don't have a prayer.
and marching bands will play the parade and sing praise to the land
(praise to the land for the carnival ride as we sing the praise to the bride)
that we kill so sweetly sucking the life from it's veins as she cries.
(of the sun and the stars and the moon will shine bright for you one day)
maybe in sickness you'll find the disease,
but you won't find the answer between your teeth.

when you were breathing.
you were stealing time.

you had a dream,
religious ecstasy.
what could it mean,
to live inside your mind?
they're angry now,
i've cured the wrong disease.
don't waste your time,
pretending not to be.
if you have a problem.
then don't turn to me.
oh, sweet disease.

eyes locked on some ferris wheel ride,
as it begs to become intertwined.
and when you feel you are ready to die.
just lose yourself in light.

and even when you've fallen you know it's ok.
cause the warm metal turns and it catches your weight.
and when i die i'll slumber so sweetly and satisfy deeply,
(thinking of time on the ferris wheel ride as you fly without wings)
that even dreams are realer to me than the life half remembered.
(closer to something thats sweeter than life as you find the disease)
and somewhere in sickness you'll find you are gone.
and realize the last time you sang to the swan.

when you were falling.
you had lost your mind.
