One of the Chosen
Contagion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the darkness you come to me
I can hear the screams deep inside you
If I hide, I know you can find me
To take away my fear and my dreams

In the deepness you come to me
You can feel the loss deep inside me
Tie my hands and take away
My fears and leave me blind

In the distance I come to you
I can take the pain deep inside you
Pull apart the flesh and soul
To share your blood and agony

Take away this flame
Share this little pain
Come into my eyes
Share my little lies

Come to me
This reality
I see you
Inside me

One of the Chosen
One of the few
It's what's inside of me
It's what's inside of you

In the darkness you come to me
I can feel the pain deep inside you
If you hide I know I can come
To take away your precious tears

Take away this flame
Share this little pain
Come into my eyes
Share my little lies
