Sickness Lyrics

I'm cutting away my skin
I'm washing away the blood
I find the answer
I find the answer
Washing it all away
No need to hide a thing
It's over after
It's over after

You're twisted
Hide the knife that's beside you

What's left in me?
Well you ought to know
Well you ought to know
You've got nothing to say
'Cause you don't know
What's left in me

Sick of the world again
Kick in the door
That never seems to open
It's always broken
Laughing until the end
I'm finding a way to kill
The ever after, the ever after

You're twisted
Hide the knife that's beside you now

What's left in me?
Well you ought to know
Well you ought to know
You've got nothing to say
'Cause you don't know
What's left in me

(Sickness!)

What's left in me?
Well you ought to know
Well you ought to know
You've got nothing to say
'Cause you don't know
What's left in me

What's left in me?
Well you ought to know
Well you ought to know
Got nothing to say
'Cause you don't know
What's left in me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Sickness lyrics by Sevendust

I believe this song is about the dissolving of a toxic relationship. The relationship was so toxic in fact that it became a sickness that was only curable if it was put out of its misery. This song is about the one party confronting the other & saying how damaged & angry the whole ordeal has left them in its wake.
