sickness
The sickness, it's what
makes you feel alive
makes you realize you're human
inevitable demon
pain, twitch, nausea
let it in, it's only
the beginning
the hypnagogic state of mind
won't cure the disease,
your guns & tanks
won't slaughter it
experience
sickness
it's what makes us,
keeps us
sane and real[/font]

i was about to comment on the 'guns and tanks' too, wanted to say it implied to me a sense of power (or lack thereof) that can only be experienced when in a state of horrible sickness.
i love the jarring lines, it's as if the words are sick themselves. Great.
