Kiss My Disease

How often do you hear a song that inspires you to overcome your yourself? I think I first checked this song out in like 98 or 99. I didn’t like it much at first because I identified with it a bit too closely and didn’t like it that my own self identity was so easily plugged into a few verses of a song by a band that no one hardly knew existed anyhow. Regardless after a few times I eventually decided I like the song (I was already hooked bad on the band). And felt it was almost an inspiration to listen to before I set out to save the world 😉

Well it’s been a few years, I haven’t quite finished saving the world, but I have a few things to be pretty satisfied about and decided to listen to the song again.

Here are the lyrics, I highly recommend the band as well.

Kiss My Disease
From Virgos Merlot – Signs of a Vacant Soul

Praying hands grasp a throat
Searching for a song they wrote
Heater just won’t warm a frozen spirit
Just a man with a cause
No reward and no applause
If there was a call he did not hear it

Tiny hero fighting big battles
Mind of stone breaks and rattles

yeah…
The only thing I need kiss my disease
And make it all better
Clean me when I bleed justify me
Make words of my scattered letters

Hunger pains take control
Growling at the tired soul
When the body just won’t meet the
demands
Growing older growing weak
Going nowhere future’s bleak
Need another spark to fire up the plan

Tiny hero fighting big battles
Mind of stone overcomes the rattles

yeah…
The only thing I need kiss my disease
And make it all better
Clean me when I bleed justify me
Make words of my scattered letters
