Lyrics The Sickness - Jaya The Cat

The Sickness

Mary moved to the city in '97
Got a temp job downtown, studio apartment
Things were looking pretty good until she got outta shit
Stay out all night and keep it going Backwards progress but you got new friends
Sleeping on a sofa when sleep happens and it’s
It’s alright 'cause everywhere you go Everyone likes you and there’s no one you
don’t know
And it’s hard to see your slipping when you’re blind White light, you leave,
your path behind you.
Mary Mary how long can you go on,
believing your still in control and Mary Mary how much can you go?
Mary Mary, Mary’s got the sickness oh.
Few years later she gets a little older Squatting in a room hoping nobody
notices All of her friends she ripped off or pissed off
Back from 'los Angeles' it’s too late to stop Paranoia,
the world’s an accusation
Anyone who’s nice must be after something Scabs on her face,
mind’s a blur Got shit away for a future that’s no longer hers.
Story changes to fit the moment Aww girl it looks like you’ve blow it.
Mary mary didn’t you know?
That shit your on just kills your soul
and Mary Mary how much can you go?
Mary Mary, Mary’s got the sickness oh.
Started in a bathtub ended on a sidewalk
What started as a life just ended up FUCKED!
She says, 'One more rail to freedom'
But you wouldn’t know the truth if you seen it
Mary Mary how long can you go on,
believing your still in control
and Mary Mary how much can you go?
Mary Mary, Mary’s got the sickness oh.
