Sickness Lyrics by TENDER

Modern Addiction

2017

[Verse 1]
Things are starting to change, and we've all been left behind
Got caught in the days where civilisation once walked
We have nowhere to go
Lost in a dream where we thought we ruled over an Earth
Caught in a spin where life plays out in reverse

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Falling backwards, past pointless patterns
God, I hope we have a soul to meet
Past the point of repair, with our hands in sickly air
And we'll cherish the ground before it cracks and breaks
Everybody will pay for what they take

[Chorus]
Beat back the sickness, and hold on
With God as my witness, hold on
It's my existence, hold on, hold on to it
To the beat of the rhythm, hold on
And take my affliction, and hold on
Wash away the kingdom, and hold on, hold on to it, hold on

[Verse 2]
Tryna hide the truth in plain sight
Took a bite of the fruit before it's ripe
But you know it's not too late
To spit it out, and plant the seeds
Watch the roots grow under me
And maybe we'll make it

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Past the point of repair, with my hands in sickly air
And we'll cherish the ground before it cracks and breaks
Everybody will pay for what they take

[Chorus]
Beat back the sickness, and hold on
With God as my witness, hold on
It's my existence, hold on, hold on to it
To the beat of the rhythm, hold on
And take my affliction, and hold on
Wash away the kingdom, and hold on, hold on to it, hold on

[Chorus]
Beat back the sickness, and hold on
With God as my witness, hold on
It's my existence, hold on, hold on to it
To the beat of the rhythm, hold on
And take my affliction, and hold on
Wash away the kingdom, and hold on, hold on to it, hold on
