Contagious lyrics

Sticks and stones from a stranger's throw

Have never much affected me

But words from those

Supposedly who matter most

Are nothing but poisoning

You cut me down

Drag me out

Down and out to your level

I’ll never find myself stooping down to this

(It feels like it's)

Taking a part of me

From the inside

(It takes the best parts of me)

And I don’t know why

I’m here anyway

But it feels like

Falling to my face

Adhering to every part of me

My pessimistic attitude is contagious

With friends like these who needs enemies?

You cut me down

Call me out

Take your opportunity

Just to scrutinize every single word that I say

(It feels like it's)

Taking apart of me

From the inside

(It takes the best parts of me)

And I don’t know why

I’m here anyway

But it feels like…

Falling!!

To my face, face, face…

And I know all about this place

I’d say it was a part of me

Take this mind and make me clean…

PLEASE!

Please push me cause I’m close to the edge!

Finally I won’t lose my head!

(It feels like it's)

Taking a part of me

From the inside

(You take the best parts of me)

Now that I’m finding why

I’m here anyway

Makes me feel like

Falling to my knees

Adhering to every part of me!
