This shadow consumes me
Eats at my soul
This darkness dooms me
In this deep dark cold

The blood drips down my chin
This disease maybe my favorite sin
My teeth sinking into my victim
This crime is my vary sweet sanctum

My disease is pleased
I am a true vial beast
And I know this will never seize
This disease maybe my favorite sin

Just one more tonight
I can’t win this fight
This shadow inside me
Is all I am meant to be

This disease IS my favorite sin
