lyrics

Afflicted – Restricted
Addicted - Depicted
Sickness - This is a sickness
Afflicted - Sickness

Depression – Anxiety
Is feeding my insanity
I’ve been suffering silently
And it affects my mentality
I’m a changing personality
But I’m fighting defiantly
With ongoing psychiatry
I don’t want to be a casualty

This is a sickness
I’ve been inflicted
This is a sickness
I’m now restricted
This is a sickness

I used to do so much
I used to party all night
I used to take all the drugs
I wouldn't walk away from a fight
I used to do so much
I used to party all night
I was a person who couldn't say no
My confidence it overflowed

Nothing is as it was before
My confidence low down on the floor
Nothing means so much anymore
Don’t want to go outside the door

I’ll fight it one day at a time
Cos Tomorrow I might feel just fine
I don’t want to just fade away
I just need to get through today
When I look well it’s hard to tell
That inside I’m going through hell
On the outside I might look so fit
But on the inside I’m really sick
