Speak your ailments Confess your sins Omnia Vetita, Omnia Vetita Tell me, what harms you, from within She hands me names I dare not speak A list that grows with every week “Paper, plastic, air I breathe I write it down like I believe “Epinephrine nearly stole my breath The cure itself now labeled death A hormone her adrenal glands create The very thing she claims to hate Every cure is her disease… She's got every allergy Omnia vetita, nihil licet All is forbidden, nothing left If I heal I risk the blame If I don’t I play her game Allergic to everything, hear the cry No touch, no drug, no reason why The phantom threats you’ve never seen Yet beg me still to intervene Allergic to everything, curse or lie A fragile thing I can’t deny “Nihil tangere, nihil dare “Touch nothing, give nothing So I just stand and let you win “Allergic to saline, don’t start that line Yet fluids drip through veins in time “No oxygen it tightens up my chest While sat reads ninety; maybe less “No Aspirin, bleeds me from within But pressure builds beneath your skin “No nitro please don’t give me that Then tell me why you clutch your chest Every truth begins to fade Every rule already swayed “Scriptum manet, veritas perit The writing remains, truth will perish Say the word, I’ll seal the claim Saint or liar, it’s the same Any allergies You whisper it like a prayer to me Omnia vetita “Everything’s forbidden you breathe Like a vow you’ll never break “Omnia vetita, omnia vetita Every cure I try to give Is another line you won’t forgive I trace the words, I sign the page Still standing in this hallowed place “Omnia vetita, nihil licet Everything forbidden, nothing left “Omnia vetita, omnia vetita, omnia vetita Everything is forbidden, final plea A living, breathing paradox to me No cure, no path, no hand to take Just every truth you make me fake Everything is forbidden, sign below I’ll take you where you want to go “Signa hic, finis venit “Sign here, the end comes If breath remains We call it grace Now leave your mark And end this case
