Cancel the Sickness

(ahhhh) They pour another drink and tell you this is how you come

alive Another little chemical to make it easier to survive Stay awake

until the morning, push the body till it breaks Then laugh about

the damage like destruction is what freedom takes

They package every poison underneath a glowing light Make a party out

of losing every piece of you at night Feed the hunger,

feed the numbness, give the emptiness a name Then sell you something

else tomorrow when you still don’t feel the same

Cancel the sickness Cancel,

cancel (cancel, cancel) I won’t give you my body I won’t give

you my mind Cancel the sickness Cancel,

cancel

(cancel, cancel)

You can keep your poison

I’m taking back what’s mine Now the screen is always talking,

telling everyone what they should fear Giving strangers names and faces,

saying these are why you suffer here Pick a villain,

pick a side, repeat the words they gave to you Never stop

to ask who profits every time the hatred makes it through Scroll

until your thoughts are fragments,

anger moving faster than the truth Every hour another outrage dressed in

something absolute They don’t need to make you listen if they teach

you to react Keep you fighting with each other while the algorithm

counts the taps

Cancel the sickness Cancel,

cancel

(cancel, cancel) I won’t give you my body I won’t give you

my mind Cancel the sickness Cancel,

cancel (cancel, cancel)

You can keep your poison I’m taking back what’s mine Maybe rebellion

isn’t burning everything you see

Maybe rebellion

is deciding what will never own me

Maybe freedom isn’t doing

every damage they permit Maybe freedom is looking straight at all of

it and saying:

I cancel it

Cancel the sickness Cancel,

cancel (cancel, cancel) I won’t give you my body I won’t give

you my mind

Cancel the sickness Cancel,

cancel (cancel, cancel) You can keep your poison

I’m taking back what’s mine

Cancel Cancel
