It cant pay attention
~#**************#~
What slips into the system
~#**************#~
A light touch, a whisper that puts you to sleep
~#**************#~
Dont sympathize with the mystery disease
~#**************#~
All it is is a feeling
~#**************#~
Pain in a dress too revealing
~#**************#~
A lost bond
~#**************#~
An old friend who likes what it sees
~#**************#~
You cant shake off the mystery disease
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Lovers in a past life
~#**************#~
Meet in the street close to midnight
~#**************#~
A last look
~#**************#~
Sweet like the end of a dream
~#**************#~
Then fall back into the mystery disease
~#**************#~
Go on, tell your symptoms to me
~#**************#~
Its not in any of the books you can read
~#**************#~
Its no fun to face what you dont get to be
~#**************#~
But whats one more to the mystery disease?
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
Floating impatience
~#**************#~
Snuffs my limited sapience
~#**************#~
Black smoke as soon as the pressures released
~#**************#~
Deep space sighs, the Mystery Disease
~#**************#~
Consumed by a weakness
~#**************#~
Cut with perpetual unrest
~#**************#~
You see stars, sunsets blurred through a screen
~#**************#~
Trap what you want
~#**************#~
Waste what you need
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
And when the west wind sweeps through the leaves
~#**************#~
Emperors of history fall to their knees
~#**************#~
Small fronds cant see the wood for the trees
~#**************#~
Left in the dust of the mystery disease
