Symptom of Terminal Illness

To those of you I loved

This pains me to lose

I hate to feel used

I'm frightened in sleep, thinking my world will be gone

Promise me I won't die

I panic in dreams from when I was still young

Please don't turn on that light

I can't see it

To those of you I've lost

That pained me to love

Please know that I tried, please know that I tried

I'm frightened in sleep, thinking my world will be gone

Promise me I won't die

I panic in dreams from when I was still young

Please don't turn on that light

I can't see it

Do you really think

That I would leave you

But I couldn't stand myself

So I had to choose

Still you turn me on, the wild in your eyes

But now I can't trust myself

To keep on the light

For us to see with

I'm frightened in sleep, thinking our world will be gone

Promise me I won't die

I panic in dreams from when I was still young

Please don't turn on that light
