Lyrics

My love is sick
It leaks and bleeds
All over me onto my nicest shirt

Vines without roots
Like knives in my body
And I am their puppet
Twisting ‘til I hurt

My love is sick
I’m running a fever so high
I peel my skin to breathe

Birds without cages
Find perch on my ribs and I
Stitch myself back up to keep them in

You’re an infection
I am keeping
No matter the sepsis
You are staying
I’d rather the wound
Than have you removed
Enough rotting for two
Killing me, keeping me high

My love is sick
It’s messy and wrong
But I pray for a bit of contagion

Hands without fingers
Like spoons at the source
Coat evenly
Oh, won’t you touch me?

You’re an infection
I am keeping
No matter the sepsis
You are staying
I’d rather the wound
Than have you removed
Enough rotting for two
Killing me, keeping me high

(Hold me, Let me go)
You’re the cure
You’re the curse
You make it better
You make it worse
You’re my killer
And my Christ
(But I’m the one twisting the knife)

You’re an infection
I am keeping
No matter the sepsis
You are staying
I’d rather the wound
Than have you removed
Enough rotting for two
Killing me, keeping me-

You’re an infection
I am keeping
No matter the sepsis
You are staying
I’d rather the wound
Than have you removed
Enough rotting for two
Killing me, keeping me high

My love is sick
It’s taken me whole
I’m simply a host to a haunting

Ghosts without corpses
Still linger in flesh
Holding on to a love they keep wanting

puppet metaphors, birds in rib (cages) and hanahaki in general? god, this song couldn’t be any better.. 🌸💘 my love is so sick

[RaShell]

I’m sorry but I already need an hour version of this song because I love it far to much

[piercedsiren]

The visuals are stunning, the song is breathtaking, you're killing me 💔

[ocean-]

I already know this is going to be so good!! Can’t wait to hear it!! 🩷

[Lix]

I'm so mad that I have an exam now, and can't stop to analyze this song (which I will do later) so I'll just say that it's amazing, it's touching and I love it! Amazing work Madds!

[rclementine]

Madds, I hope you know that every now and then I listen to this song for hours on end and it gives me inspiration to draw and come up stories for my oc's

[rainbowwhimsy]

OOF OOF OOF

This GUTTED me. Time to listen to this seven million times on Spotify while crying and screaming the lyrics.

Did I come here just stop that I could leave a comment? Yes of course.

Madds, this is heartrending in the best possible way.

[jacobdoswalt]

one could say the urge to sing this song is... infectious

[SLLY-VANNLY]

You have no idea how much this makes me cry, but I love it so much

[DeaniraDarling]

Imma just play this on repeat for the next 6 months.
Your voice is incredible ❤️

[zephyrion]

This is so insanely emotional, I was almost crying when listening. Since a few months you're one of my favorite artists up there with popular bands like Imagine Dragons. You're incenible.

[tetherballobsession]

I really love the heartfelt song and the art with it. so beautiful. Sometimes love like this hurts so much.

[Itsme_Sync]

Biting my thumb as I listen and cry, almost bickering in my mind just to keep it intact...

.... That was unintentional lyric as I followed the melody... Um... Damn... This is making me melancholic..

[Aikyouu]

A year ago I listened to this, my comment is still up in fact; I never got the meaning of the songs until a year later when I lost the one thing I held to me, and now im at this stage of life, I realized that all the pain, torment and mental fractures I put myself in, I was the one twisting the knife, because I liked it, in some sort of sick sadistic way, it's too late now, the damage that was done will be a scar on me forever now.

[Fluffball]

Omg I love your original songs so much!!! Your lyrics are so unique and lovely!

[Aikyouu]

I love every song you make! I love how your lyrics are just so true and dear to me.
It is almost like they were meant just for me.
これらの曲は私の終わりになるでしょう。

[Gowonzu]

I freaking love this song. Been playing it on repeat!

[StarryRuins]

I just realized this is song sounds like someone dying of Hanahaki. And I love it even more now.

[hellkittyninja]

I love this song so much. It pairs well with dogbird

[JustaThinkr]

This song (especially the ending) reminds me so much of what’s happening with Dabi right now in the manga… 😢 Different parts of the song make me think of the other villains, but mostly Dabi. He wanted his dad’s love and acceptance so much that it was literally killing him. 🥺

Thank you for making such a beautiful piece. It’s just as amazing as you are. 🥰
