Etiologies from Unknown Functions by Carcinomic

You, cloaked in the whitest of coats
Tell me how I have sinned
I am compromised, as are you…
Slaves, all of us, to the disease
The one thing that won’t ever, ever…
…Let us down

So what did I do this time, I swear to you
I'm so tired of answering

Did I deserve it, is the last question I want to ask
Enter oblivion, just to watch me implode

I know you thirst for power, as do I
In time my suffering becomes your sustenance
So rejoice, then remember
Your last syndrome is opulence

Godless forsaken embryo, hanging in questions—
Rip me to shreds or bear me life
Either way you should know only this:
I was never really able to care for your strife

Torn apart, ripped limb from limb, let us congregate
To see for ourselves transgressions of those sworn to serve
Are you worthy of such heartlessness
Initiate your plan, but it started long ago

The mask of etiology
Entrenched in vice
Causation of sickness
Suffocated; all is not

I am my own sin
I am my own death
All I want is to live
But you'll take my last breath

And if I see you while I am still one
We come down this road just to see it undone

Godless forsaken embryo, hanging in questions—
Rip me to shreds or bear me life
Either way you should know only this:
I was never really able to care for your strife
