Disease Lyrics
If I fall again, will it be the end?
I know it's wrong, you think I'm strong, but I just pretend
Is it takin' over, will it bury me?
Or will clarity become the cure for my disease?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Stuck at the surface, not makin' progress
Fallin' apart, well, I'm tryin' my hardest
Lookin' for answers, findin' a rope
Is the noose gettin' tighter? I'm losin' control
[Pre-Chorus]
Will the end make me whole again?
[Chorus]
It's like holdin' on when my grip is lost
I still feed my insecurity when I know the cost
Is it taking over, will it bury me?
Or will clarity become the cure for my disease?
[Verse 2]
I'm gettin' older, still, lost as ever
Fakin' a smile while I bury the pressure
Why does this happen? I should be fine
But I can't shake the feelin', I'm livin' a lie
Will the end make me whole again?
[Chorus]
It's like holdin' on when my grip is lost
I still feed my insecurity when I know the cost
Is it taking over, will it bury me?
Or will clarity become the cure for my disease?
[Bridge]
If I fall again, will it be the end?
I know it's wrong, you think I'm strong but I just pretend
Is it takin' over, will it bury me?
Or will clarity become the cure for my disease?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
It's like holdin' on when my grip is lost
I still feed my insecurity when I know the cost
Is it taking over, will it bury me?
Or will clarity become the cure for my disease?
[Outro]
Become the cure for my disease!

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
“Disease” is the one song that really encompasses most of what the album is about. The core of this album is about me trying to remember who I am and where I want to end up mentally as a person, and that means I have to deal with a lot of things. “Disease” is me trying to be really blunt and honest about feeling helpless. It’s about the struggle. I know that I’ve felt this way a really long time and have been ignoring it. I’m trying to go into it and confront it.
