Affliction Lyrics by Sonic Syndicate

Love and Other Disasters

2008

[Verse 1]
This is no ordinary demon
I've been down this road before
Driven by the wounds I couldn't hide
I know exactly where it goes
So I guess there's no tomorrow
And I can't remember yesterday
Locked in a time lapse
And it's soul-crushing to say

[Pre-Chorus]
At the end of my elbow
You'll find one golden rule
A ferocious discharge
You will hit the ground hard

[Chorus]
I don't know, I don't care
And I don't understand
Why they dignify iniquity
I don't know, I don't care
And I don't understand
Why they justify rapacity

[Verse 2]
Left my humanity behind long ago
Take a look into my world
So many places where I don't belong
Eradicate what I've become

[Pre-Chorus]
A ferocious discharge
You will hit the ground hard

[Chorus]
I don't know, I don't care
And I don't understand
Why they dignify iniquity
I don't know, I don't care
And I don't understand
Why they justify rapacity
There's an oven waiting for you in hell
You'll be reaping what you sow in life
What you sow in life, what you sow in life

[Bridge]
Had to put you in the place
And wipe that smile off your face
You can put a king's clothes on a scarecrow
In the end, it's still just a scarecrow
It's still just a scarecrow

[Chorus]
I don't know, I don't care
And I don't understand
Why they dignify iniquity
I don't know, I don't care
And I don't understand
Why they justify rapacity

I don't know and I don't care
And I don't understand
There's an oven waiting for you in hell
You'll be reaping what you sow in life
What you sow in life, what you sow in life

[Refrain]
You're the affliction
You'll pay what you owe

[Outro]
Don't understand...
You're the affliction
Why they justify...
And you'll pay what you owe
Don't understand
You're the affliction (Affliction)
Why they dignify...
And you'll pay what you owe

Don't understand...
You're the affliction (Affliction)
Why they justify...
And you'll pay what you owe
Don't understand
You're the affliction (Affliction)
Why they dignify...
And you'll pay what you owe
