I've been infected with the latest disease
An Epidemic that's infecting the weak
It doesn't matter how I plead
Because I can't escape it
It's my temptation
It's so contagious
There's something wrong with me
Inside I'm wanting to be free
But the more I give the more consuming it just seems to be
I know it's what I need
To find a cure for this disease
To save me from all of my self deprication
Is there way to clean the sin off of me
Is there anyone with a vaccine
I'll take the shot even if I bleed
As long as it can heal me
I will do whatever I need
To uncontaminate and then proceed
Is it too late to forgive and forget
Can someone help me
It's my temptation
It's so contagious
There's something wrong with me
Inside I'm wanting to be free
But the more I give the more consuming it just seems to be
I know it's what I need
To find a cure for this disease
To save me from all of my self deprication
There only is one cure
That is why I pray
Jesus please take it away
There's something wrong with me
Inside I'm wanting to be free
But the more I give the more consuming it just seems to be
I know it's what I need
To find a cure for this disease
To save me from all of my self deprication
