I am a symptom of your disease
Hopped up on overdoses of caffeine
Because from hate, love breeds
I am a symptom of your disesase

My heart is a mutation
An abomination
A revelation
A new revolution
Because your words are just
pollution
Choking me for so long I couldn't see past
the haze breaking through
my daze, fighting into consciousness
your rage made me delirious
Your hate was the sickness
My kindness the cure
Trying so hard to pull me under
Yet I cling on and endure
Scratching at the water's surface
Yanking out the IV drips
You're just a cancer
and I'm the chemotherapy
tell me not to jump
and I'll fly
are you hearing me?

Telling me to succumb to
the fear that you made reappear
again and again til my eyes couldn't see straight
Slipped on coke bottle glasses just to walk again
Hear my own voice straining for a handhold to grab on
Now I'm scaling mountains and you're in the gorges
Aren't I just gorgeous? Standing at the pinnacle
My fingers are stretched so wide
I could scrape the edges of the canyon on both sides

You never knew the poison
That your hate created
but I reiterated
That I won't be defeated
Because you're still sick
dying from hatred
and I'm in remission
Scratch that,
I'm healed.
