Light This City - The Anhedonia Epidemic Lyrics
When her body gave into that sickness again(She always knew it would), She didn't want to say a thing for fearThat if he knew, he'd never riskGetting even this close to her. FeverHas made her shameless. She's desperate to infect, And she'd kill to hear him moan with misery, Burning sweet, keeping her suffering company with his, Bowels twisted from that seductive disease.Some shit spreads with a secret contagion, And you'll either be fascinated or repulsedBy the velocity of defeat.Tell me, doctor, are you giving up?Yes, I know it's completely *****ed.Show me a credible witnessTo the existence of a functional love... Or even just a functional *****.Doctor, are you giving up on me?Don't you see it's each other we need?You're the sadist and it seems I just might beA masochist, neither one of us satisfiedUntil I'm writhing. And I overheard them say, "Our guinea pigs are in for it; We're straining day and night to find the originOf this mutant strain, Once microscopic, now epidemic, Which crawled it's way into her brain."She didn't ask for it, but she's passing itTo everybody she meets.And it might not be the most pleasurable thing, But the sensation can be so addicting.He won't surrender. His system guards againstThe potential agony. But he will never realize that, Consequently, he's missing out on the ecstasy.He won't surrender. His system protects him against me.Well, it wasn't caused by amphetamines, But his dopamine levels are unquestionably depleting, And my favorite hypochondriac is starting to displaySymptoms of hysterical paralysis.All the doctors can say is, "There's nothing physically amiss."Isn't it ironic? I'm the sadist, But now it seems he just might be immune to what I inflict.
