Affliction Lyrics

Eken Is Dead Affliction

I've got to be comfortable in my own skin
Before I have yours pressed against mine
I've got to open my eyes and take in the world
Before my vision can accompany you

My love is fiction, a contradiction, that is my affliction
I'm a love story gone wrong, I'm a short story gone too long
My love is fiction, My love is a contradiction

I've got to start to love myself and what's inside
Before I can pretend to love you
I've got to get my life together
Before I think about sharing one with you
By myself is where I need to be
By myself where I can always trust me
By myself is where I'm the expert
By myself where I can never be hurt

My love is fiction, a contradiction, that is my affliction
I'm a love story gone wrong, I'm a short story gone too long
My love is fiction, My love is a contradiction
