Come talk with me and lie
Sit next to me and die
It is contagious, this disease
It will leave you begging, on your knees
It courses through your blood, your brain
It whispers to you, we are insane
Save your worry, hold your fear
It is going nowhere, for it lives here
It ravages the soul, the mind
Blazes a ruthless trail, leaves a wasteland behind
Come and talk with me and lie
Come sit next to me and die
You will feel it, it drifts through the air
From me, now, to you, a new throat to tear
A lifetime ago, they did rip through flesh so tender
Your mind will resist, your very being will surrender
The bright shining lies a child will believe
The undying agony no one can relieve
Come talk with me and lie
Come sit next to me and die
Never alone, it will take us together
Both halves of me, now separate forever
It is contagious, this disease
It will have you pleading, on your knees
It burns alive the blood, the brain
It begs a whisper, we are insane
Hold your worry, save your fear
I’m going nowhere, I live right here
Now be a good girl, don’t make a sound
He’ll be with you forever, each time new terror is found
Be a good girl, or trust you will pay
Say not a word, or this hand it will stay
Wrapped around your throat so tight
You gag and struggle, he trembles with delight
Now, come talk with me and lie
Now, come sit next to me and die
A death much too slow to be kind
A knowledge that will one day destroy your mind
It is contagious, this disease
It will have you begging, on your knees
It will course through your blood and stake its claim
It will remind, gently, who is to blame
Save all worry, hoard all fear
It is going precisely nowhere, for it lives here
It bludgeons through soul, obliterates mind
A scorched little child in its wake, left behind
But do not fear the darkness, we will go together
Both the living and the dead halves of me, now separate forever
Now come talk with me, tell me a shiny new lie
Come walk with me, pretend to pretend to try
Sit next to me, speak an untruth of why
Lie next to me now, be still
And die
