    "Decay" ©2018 Music and Lyrics: Akenya Production: Akenya Live Bass: Akenya Additional Live Drums: Luke Titus Additional Production: Teddy Jackson Engineering, Mixing/Mastering: Jayson Rose Artwork: Samantha Fuehring *This song is very special to me, because it details and personifies my battle with lyme disease. A percentage of proceeds from streams and sales will go toward the LymeLight foundation, which helps children and young adults pay for lyme medical expenses, and has helped me immensely in my journey toward healing and recovery. Learn more about LymeLight at www.lymelightfoundation.org Lyrics: Verse 1: You keep my feet high above my head And my spine is tucked between my knees I thought I would only know decay when I was dead You make wilting something of ease Pre-Chorus: I never wanted to be twisted up like this I think my body might get sick enough and quit I never wanted to be twisted up amidst all the prey that you claim for the taking Chorus: You wanna defeat me You’re trying to play me (Got me) acting like I’m crazy But frankly I don’t want to be around this I don’t want to stand for your bullshit My energy isn’t feeling you, you’re not healing me you just wanna defeat me You’re trying to play me (Got me) acting like I’m crazy But frankly I don’t want to be around this I don’t want to stand for you My enemy, I keep fighting but you keep killing me, you just Verse 2: Turn my insides outside one by one Dim the bright side of my attitude Shatter any matter of the woman I’d become Take my breaking bones as gratitude Pre-Chorus 2: I never thought I would be twisted up like this But I know my spirit hasn’t given up so I persist And resist the urge to sit and reminisce of the days when you lay unawakened (Chorus) Bridge: You want to see my spirit dissipate You want my body to disintegrate But I refuse to just wither away I won't succumb to this decay (Pre-Chorus, Chorus, and Outro simultaneously) Outro: You want to make me decay, but I won't, I won't. And you want to break down my faith, but you won't, you won't! Last line of final chorus: My enemy, I'll keep fighting 'til you stop killing me.
