Disturbed - The Sickness Lyrics






Voices

So, are you breathing?
So, are you breathing
Now, now?
Are you breathing?
So, are you breathing
Now?

Wake up, are you alive? Will you listen to me?
I'm gonna talk about some freaky shit now
Someone is gonna die when you listen to me
Let the living die, let the living die, say

Wake up, are you alive? Will you listen to me?
I'm gonna talk about some freaky shit now
Someone is gonna die when you listen to me
Let the living die, let the living die, say

Are you breathing now? Do the wicked see you?
You still breathing? You're making me known
Are you breathing now? Do the wicked see you?
You still breathing?

So, what's up? I wonder, why do you listen to me?
I'm gonna make you do some freaky shit now
Insane, you're gonna die when you listen to me
Let the living die, let the living die, say

What's up? I wonder, why do you listen to me?
I'm gonna make you do some freaky shit now
Insane, you're gonna die when you listen to me
Let the living die, let the living die, say

Are you breathing now? Do the wicked see you?
You still breathing? You're making me known
Are you breathing now? Do the wicked see you?
You still breathing?

So

Can't you imagine how good going through this will make you feel?
I promise, no one will ever know
There will be no chance of you getting caught
They never loved you anyway, so, come on, be a man
And do what you are compelled to do
Save me, God

I can hear the voice, but I don't wanna listen
Strap me down and tell me I'll be all right
I can feel the subliminal need
To be one with the voice and make everything go

I can hear the voice, but I don't wanna listen
Strap me down and tell me I'll be all right
I can feel the subliminal need
To be one with the voice and make everything all right

Are you breathing now? Do the wicked see you?
You still breathing? You're making me known
Are you breathing now? Do the wicked see you?
You still breathing?

So, are you breathing?
So, do you breathe now, now?
So, are you breathing?
So, do you breathe now?

The Game

Tell me exactly, what am I supposed to do
Now that I have allowed you to beat me?
Do you think that we could play another game?
Maybe I could win this time

I kind of like the misery you put me through
Darling, you can trust me completely
If you even try to look the other way
I think that I could kill this time

Rah, rah
Rah, rah

It doesn't really seem I'm getting through to you
Though I see you weeping so sweetly
I think that you might have to take another taste
A little bit of hell this time

Rah, rah
Lie to me
Rah, rah
Lie to me

Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life in the battle that ends this day?

Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life now that she lied to me?

You always wanted people to remember you
To leave your little mark on society
Well, don't you know your wish is coming true today?
Another victim dies tonight

Rah, rah
Lie to me
Rah, rah
Lie to me

Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life in the battle that ends this day?

Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life now that she lied to me?

Is she really
Telling lies again?
Doesn't she realize
She's in danger?

Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life in the battle that ends this day?

Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life now that she lied to me?

The little bitch, she went and she told a lie
And now she will never tell another, a lie
The little bitch, she went and she told a lie
Never f*cking lie to me

Stupify

Yeah, bringing you another disturbing creation
from the mind of one sick animal who can't tell the difference
and gets stupified

I've been waiting my whole life for just one
And all I needed was just one
How can you say that you don't give a
I find myself stupified, coming back again
All I wanted was just one
One tiny little innocent
And when I feel like I'm shit out of luck
I find my stupified, coming back again

Why, do you like playing around with
My, narrow scope of reality
I, can feel it all start slipping
I think I'm breaking down

Why, do you like playing around with
My, narrow scope of reality
I, can feel it all start slipping away
See but I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it
I get stupified
It's all the same you say
Live with it

But I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it
I get stupified [x2]

All the people in the left wing
And all the people in the right wing
And all the people in the underground
I find myself stupified, coming back again
All the people in the high rise
And all the people in the projects
And all la hente in the bario
I find myself stupified, coming back again

Why, do you like playing around with
My, narrow scope of reality
I, can feel it all start slipping
I think I'm breaking down

Why, do you like playing around with
My, narrow scope of reality
I, can feel it all start slipping away
See but I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it
I get stupified
It's all the same you say
Live with it

But I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it
I get stupified [x2]

And don't deny me
No baby now, don't deny me
And darlin' don't be afraid...

But I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it
I get stupified

Look in my face, stare in my soul
I begin to stupify. Ah! [x4]
Look in my face, stare in my soul [x4]
Look in my face! [x3]
I begin to stupify! Ah!

Down With The Sickness

Can you feel that?
Ah, shit
Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me
(Will you give in to me?)

Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes (oh no)
There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon in me

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You f*cker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me

I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me
(Will you give in to me?)

It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You f*cker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me

(And when I dream)
(And when I dream)
(And when I dream), (and when I dream)
No mommy, don't do it again
Don't do it again
I'll be a good boy
I'll be a good boy, I promise
No mommy don't hit me
Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy?
Don't do it, you're hurting me
Why did you have to be such a bitch

Why don't you
Why don't you just f*ck off and die
Why can't you just f*ck off and die
Why can't you just leave here and die
Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
F*ck you
I don't need this shit
You stupid sadistic abusive f*cking whore
How would you like to see how it feels mommy
Here it comes, get ready to die

Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You f*cker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness has now come over me

Violence Fetish

Bring the violence
It's significant
To the life
If you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence
It's significant
To the life
Can you feel it?

How do you sleep
When you live with your lies
Out of your mouth
Up from your mind
That kind of thinking
Starts a chain reaction
You are a timebomb ticking away
You need to release
What you're feeling inside
Let out the beast
That you're trying to hide
Step right up and be a part of the action
Get your game face on
Because it's time to play
You're pushing and fighting your way
You're ripping it up

How do you live without playing the game
Sit on the side and expect to keep sane
Step right up and be a part of the action
Come get a piece of it before it's too late
Take a look around
You can't deny what you see
Were living in a violent society
Well my brother let me show you a better way
So get your game face on because it's time to play
You're pushing and fighting your way you're ripping it up

So tell me what am I supposed to be
Another goddamn drone
Tell me what am I supposed to be
Should I leave it on the inside
Should I get ready to play

Fear

Fear something again
Huh, huh, huh, huh huh, huh
Fear something again
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh
Fear something again
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh
Fear something again
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh

Reject
Are you no one
Feel you nothing
You know I'll bet you think
You have a good reason to be living
In the limelight of the fortunate ones
you're too weakened by the poison
That they feed you in the living lie
They don't believe you
Call to no one
Trust in nothing
Little impotent one

I don't want to be innocent, you know
I don't want to let them hypnotize me

Punk ass, are you listening?
Can you hear me or are you deaf and dumb to my language?
Do the real words seem to hurt you
Well put em' up motherf*cker
You'll feel it
When I stamp it on your forehead
So you will never forget
That you're a reject
And you're no one
And you're nothing
Little impotent one

Fear awaken
Go with it now
And let it overcome you
Fear awaken
Your mind is racing

I don't understand why you don't like me
Why don't you like me?
Am I so different from you
Now does it scare you that I'm able to discern
What to love and what to burn
I'll add your fuel to the fire now
Stand back, brother take your hand back
Leave it and I might crack
More than a smile or two you see
Don't judge what you don't understand
You can't deny what has been given to me

I don't want to be [x4]
Innocent, you know
I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want to let them hypnotize me [Stanza x2]

Fear awaken
Go with it now
And let it overcome you
Fear awaken
Go with it now [Line x2]
Your fear awaken
Go with it now
And let it overcome you
Fear awaken
Your mind is racing

Erasing now

Hey reject
Are you no one
Feel you nothing
You know I'll bet you think
You have a good reason to be living
In the limelight of the fortunate ones you know

Numb

Bleeding now I'm
Crying out I'm
Falling down and I'm
Feeling nothing like
Laughing now I'm
Stopping now I'm
Reaching out and I'm
Feeling nothing

Yeah, you have created a rift within me
Now there have been several complications
That have left me feeling nothing
I might say, you were wrong to take it from me
Left me feeling nothing

Crawling now I'm
Beaten down I'm
Tortured now and I'm
Feeling nothing like
Hunting now I'm
Stalking now I'm
Reaching out and I'm
Killing nothing

I can feel you ripping and tearing
Feeding and growing inside of me
I want this, more than you know
I need this, give it back to me

Want

Your mind wont let you say that you want me
Your mind wont ever, never let you say what you want
You howl and wail like a banshee
Still your mind wont ever let you say
My little tired devotee
Your mind wont even let you feel

Quivering now, shivering now, withering
Your mind wont let you say that you're
Wondering now, pondering now, hungering
WOnt let you say that you're
Questioning, wavering, weakening
You mind wont let you say that you're
Hearkening, listening, heeding me now
Wont let you say that you want

Your mind wont let you say that you want me
Your mind wont ever, never let you have what you want
I feel your hunger to taste me
Still your mind wont ever let you say
Your kind is just the type that should use me
But your mind wont seem to let you have
The opportunity to abuse me
Your mind wont even let you feel

Savor the addiction, savor the affliction
Savore me

Conflict

You are, enemy
You are my hated enemy
I am enemy
Number one rated enemy
I'm a labelled enemy
I am your mortal enemy
My actions enemy
Make me your bitter enemy

All the world around enemy
They're tearing up the ground enemy
They're drawn in by the sound
Enemy, enemy I must eliminate my Enemy

Your people, enemy
My people's hated enemy
What are you, enemy
Though a created enemy
Terminate the, enemy
Eradicate the hated enemy
I am an enemy
My very greatest enemy

You try to tell me that you love life
Then find another way to kill life

Wanting, love life
Needing, kill life
Wanting, love life
Needing, kill life

Shout 2000

(shout shout)
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
(come on)
I'm talking to you
(so come on)
[repeat]

In violent times...
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white...
They really really ought to know
(just don't know)
Those one-trick minds...
Who took you for a working whore
Kiss them goodbye...
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
(jump jump jump jump jump)

You shouldn't have to (shout) for joy(shout)

They give you life...
and in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice(not witch your ice ice baby)
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to (shout) the tale(shout)

Will you never shout
HUH
I feel as though you're never gonna let it all out
Will you never shout?
HU
I feel as though I know
you're never gonna let it all out
will you never shout?
HUH
I feel as though I know you're never gonna let it
And when you've taken down your guard...
If I could change your mind...
I'd really love to break your heart
(break break break break break)

I'd really love to (shout) your heart(shout)

I'd really love to
(shout shout)

Come on let me shout shout let me
Come on let me shout shout
Come on let me shout shout let me
Come on let me shout shout

Droppin Plates

Well, here we go again, get up
A little something for your ear hole, get up
Tearing a part of my soul again, get up
Disturbed in the house, we're droppin' plates

You said it couldn't be done
Told me that it's the kind of battle that just couldn't be won, you know
"You're too sick, too hard, too f*cked in the head
You'll never make it, no, not in this lifetime"

Well, guess again, my friend, don't act surprised
We got the bass, drum, kick that will blow out your eyes, huh
'Cause when you hear this shit, you'll get to steppin'
Gonna fight the war and use my music as a weapon

You know I'm talkin' 'bout (recognition)
You know I'm talkin' 'bout (vindication)

Another goddamn slap in the face
Don't wanna give us a place, are you afraid?
Well, fear this, 'cause I'm a-breakin' through the walls of your nightmare
Wake up, time to die

The way I'm livin', there is no compromising it
Better get ready for another surprise, and it
May leave a mark, because I'm a-coming in fast
Planting thoughts in your mind and a-droppin' plates on your ass

Well, here I come, I'm droppin' plates on your ass, bitch
You never mind and you don't need this
Said, here I come, I'm droppin' plates on your ass, bitch
You never mind and you don't need

Well, on your mark, here we go again (hey, yeah, yeah)
Well, never mind, 'cause you're not number one (oh, yeah, yeah)
You're too hard and from the other side (hey, yeah, yeah)
I think it's time to bring it home again (right to me)

Well, on your mark, here we go again (hey, yeah, yeah)
Well, never mind, 'cause you're not number one (oh, yeah, yeah)
You're too hard and from the other side (hey, yeah, yeah)
I think it's time to bring it home again (right to me)

You know I'm talkin' 'bout (recognition)
You know I'm talkin' 'bout (vindication)

Here I come, I'm droppin' plates on your ass
Well, here I come, I'm droppin' plates on your ass
Said, here I come, I'm droppin' plates on your ass
Now, here I come, I'm droppin' plates on your ass

Plates on your ass, bitch, plates on your ass
Well, here I come, I'm droppin' plates, I'm droppin' plates
Plates on your ass, bitch, plates on your ass
Here I come, I'm droppin' plates, and I'm droppin' plates, and it

Well, on your mark now, here we go again, I'm droppin' plates
I use my music, my weapon, I'm droppin' plates
Break through the walls of your nightmare, I'm droppin' plates
Well, here we go, we're droppin' plates

It's not enough to have a little taste

Don't wanna wait until we finish the show

Wanna hear you scream
Tell me to take you, scare you, f*ck you
After we finish the show

You're one twisted little f*ck

I can feel the blood, flowing through my veins
Spilling on my soul
And now the hunger's getting bigger
Come a little closer now pretentious whore and pull my trigger
Free the violence that is building in me
I say now end of the ride, murder suicide
Is how I've been feelin' lately
Come a little closer my pretentious whore I'm living with a feeling that I can't ignore
Come a little closer my pretentious whore I'm living with a feeling that I can't ignore
Come a little closer my pretentious whore I'm living with a feeling that i can't ignore
And the need to get psycho is not a question to me

Get, get, get, get, get psycho
Get, get, get, get, I wanna get psycho
Get, get, get, get, get psycho
Get, get, get, get, I wanna, wanna, wanna
