Same Disease - Dave Hause

I only ever want it cause it makes me sick

So give it to me now and give it to me quick

Like a lime diseased parasitic little tick

Latched on and burrowed in until the poison sticks

Don’t bother trying to tell me it’ll make me sick

I can quiet down the bees after a couple sniffs

She says «c'mon, pull it together baby get a grip»

But her hands on my hip and she’s biting my lip

I don’t want it cause it just keeps making me sick

I want it, oh I want it

I can’t feel alive unless I’m feeling sick

I think she fell in love because it made her sad

You can get pretty good at feeling pretty bad

I thought this thing was tight thought it was ironclad

But I think she fell in love because it made her sad

She fed a bitter river now she’s up to her throat

She set fire to the dock and to the motorboat

Now she’s screaming at me to come and keep her afloat

It’s a poison she designed with no antidote

She don’t love it, she don’t love it

Because it just keeps making her sad

She loves it, she loves it

She can’t feel alive unless she’s feeling sad

Now I’m wide awake and well aware

That our sick sad hearts are our cross to bear

And I’d heal that sick if I thought I could

And the sad must get old baby…

We’ve got the same disease

Set me free

We’ve got the same disease

Let’s get free
