It started in my television set, subtle evil, not quite a noose around my neck, just white lies and uncollared shirts But I learned quickly, that's just the way the world is, nothing to be alarmed about But now it's in my mind, it's in my family, I'm hurting people I've never met It's spreading like a disease, down from my morals to my sleeves, consuming my dreams Can't tell if it's in my head or on the news screen. My friends losing their minds or just a bad dream Some people walk away from the ones they love. Some people never walk back, it's not fair We slowly k** ourselves, and we don't even notice. We don't even care And none of your friends come to your shows because they know it's not worth it, and it's sad to even watch you try anymore I would feel a little better, if I would take my life and give it to you But I know eventually, that I would snatch it back when you're not looking It's hard to see that I'm a falling leaf, snuffed out by time and disease The lonely least of these
