elxi - i am the symptom lyrics

[intro]
okay. okay. okay

[verse 1]
you called it mercy, i called it bait
a soft command that came too late
you hovered close when i broke down
to catch the pieces and watch me drown
i scr+ped your presence off my skin
just to reveal what you locked in
this isn’t sickness, it’s design
you gave me venom, called it mine
(you watching?)
i can feel the tremor in your breath
like you’re waiting on my death

[chorus]
take me high, but don’t let me drown
every lift you give is a way back down
we’re not one, we’re interlaced
you erase me just to taste
(okay, okay?)
if i collapse, will you still come?
or love the version i become?
save me, no
just hold the gun
[post+chorus]
save me, save me, save me
(if i become)
i am the symptom
my demons won’t run

[verse 2]
this isn’t fate, it’s fabrication
you fed the poison, called it salvation
i wear your scars like a brand
still begging for a steady hand
i screamed for hours until i couldn’t feel
you stitched the wound but left the seal
you didn’t help, you reinforced
the damage i was made to force
(you feel that?)
the ghost in me never died

[chorus]
take me high, but leave the fall
every rise you give is a closer crawl
we’re not same, we’re intertwined
you heal the cuts you first designed
(okay, okay?)
if i collapse, will you still come?
or just enjoy who i’ve become?
save me, no
you load the gun
[bridge]
fly me over what you broke
but don’t dare call this hope
you need me fractured, hollow+eyed
to see your own reflection right
i am not your purge, your balm
i am the curse you find calm

[final chorus]
take me high, but know the cost
i am the soul your mercy lost
we’re not twins, we’re twisted bones
you lend the breath, then break the tones
(okay, okay?)
if i fall, don’t fake remorse
i was your guilt’s final discourse
you loved me more
when i was worse

[outro]
i am the symptom
you are the cause
my demons
were never flaws
