I am my own affliction I am my own disease There ain't no drug that they could sell Ah there ain't no drugs to make me well There ain't no drug It's not enough There ain't no drug The sickness is myself I made a mess of me I wanna get back the rest of me I've made a mess of me I wanna spend the rest of my life alive I've made a mess of me I wanna reverse this tragedy I've made a mess of me I wanna spend the rest of my live alive The rest of my life alive! We lock our souls in cages We hide inside our shells It's hard to free to the ones you love Oh when you can't forgive yourself Yeah forgive yourself! There ain't no drug There ain't no drug There ain't no drug The sickness is myself I made a mess of me I wanna get back the rest of me I've made a mess of me I wanna spend the rest of my life alive I've made a mess of me I wanna reverse this tragedy I've made a mess of me I wanna spend the rest of my live alive The rest of my life alive! Ah! Right There ain't no drug There ain't no drug There ain't no drug No drugs to make me well There ain't no drug It's not enough I'm breaking up The sickness is myself The sickness is myself I made a mess of me I wanna get back the rest of me I've made a mess of me I wanna spend the rest of my life alive I've made a mess of me I wanna reverse this tragedy I've made a mess of me I wanna spend the rest of my live alive The rest of my life alive!!
