I'm alive, breathing to feel good
But inside I'm a different breed
Don't provoke, my needs are taboo
Once you know me, you'll know the beast

I'm the one keeping you alive
Either way you're mine
Don't be afraid, I'm not deranged

I'm just addicted to my own disease
I'm not depraved, but I've been changed
This blessing curses me just the same
Can't you see? I'm addicted to my own disease

I confess I'd love to give in and fail the test
And drink you down, don't you say that you can take it
Run away and don't turn around

I'm the one moving through the dark
I give you a head start
Don't be afraid, I'm not deranged

I'm just addicted to my own disease
I'm not depraved, but I've been changed
This blessing curses me just the same
Can't you see? I'm addicted to my own disease

Please don't leave, you're all I need
To feel I can be free
Don't be afraid, I'm not deranged

I'm just addicted to my own disease
I'm not depraved, but I've been changed
This blessing curses me just the same
Can't you see? I'm addicted to my own disease

Oh, I'm not deranged
I'm just addicted to my own disease
I'm not depraved, but I've been changed
This blessing curses me just the same
Can't you see? I'm addicted to my own disease

I'm addicted to my own disease
I'm addicted to my own disease
