I am the sickness that eats up your soul

I creep in the back of your mind

I am your shadow, your eyes in the mirror

and your face it looks just like mine

Mine is not love - nor is it hate

I am the emptiness that you create

and I am present

when the heart turns black

and I will smile

when your heart turns black

I know where you are going

even when you're not so sure

I have my own intentions

and I don't even care for yours

Call me "the snake", name me "the tempter"

Your labels are just untrue

I am your heart, I am your mind

I'm just the essence of you

My joy's not lust - nor is it pain

I am the nothingness that will drive you insane
