Though all afflictions are evils in themselves, yet they are good for us, because they discover to us our disease and tend to our cure.

Every day we do get closer to a cure. Three out of four children who are diagnosed with cancer will survive the disease, but that is not good enough. The loss of one child to this disease is too much.

Disease Of Conceit
Theres a whole lot of people suffering tonight from the disease of conceit
Theres a whole lot of people struggling tonight with the disease of conceit
Comes right down the highway, straight down the line
Rips into your senses, through your body and your mind
Nothing about it thats sweet
The disease of conceit
Theres a whole lot of hearts breaking tonight from the disease of conceit
Theres a whole lot of hearts shaking tonight from the disease of conceit
Steps into your room, eats into your soul
Over your senses you have no control
Aint nothing too discreet
About the disease of conceit
Theres a whole lot of people dying tonight from the disease of conceit
Theres a whole lot of people crying tonight from the disease of conceit
Comes right outta nowhere and youre down for the count
From the outside world the pressure will mount
Turn you into a piece of meat
The disease of conceit
Conceit is a disease but the doctors got no cure
They done a lot of research on it but what it is theyre still not sure
Theres a whole lot of people in trouble tonight from the disease of conceit
Theres a whole lot of people seein double tonight from the disease of conceit
If your delusions of grandeur and an evil eye
Give you the idea that youre too good to die
Then they bury you from your head to your feet
From the disease of conceit

All a man's affairs become diseased when he wishes to cure evils by evils.
The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions, and evils, is rooted in the three poisons. Greed, anger, and delusion.

Either Way You Look At It
Will those who have selected to do good deeds...
Discover their souls resting in peace?
When they have deceased,
And moved on from the release of this dimension?
Or will they spend eternity,
In a quiet void screaming!
Finding themselves tormented in darkness...
For the afflictions they have brought upon others!
Either way you look at it,
I think it is best to appreciate...
All that God creates!
And thank The Almighty for the blessing.
While that opportunity has been given to do it!

Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues
Im too terrified to walk out of my own front door,
Theyre demonstrating outside I think theyre gonna start the third world war,
Ive been to my local head shrinker,
To help classify my disease,
He said its one of the cases of acute schizophrenia he sees.
Well the milkmans a spy, and the grocer keeps on following me,
And the woman next doors an undercover for the k.g.b.,
And the man from the social security
Keeps on invading my privacy,
Oh there aint no cure for acute schizophrenia disease.
Ive got acute schizophrenia paranoia too,
Schizophrenia, schizophrenia,
Ive got it, youve got it, we cant lose,
Acute schizophrenia blues.
Im lost on the river, the river of no return,
I cant make decisions, I dont know which way Im gonna turn,
Even my old dad, lost some of the best friends he ever had,
Apparently, his was a case of acute schizophrenia too.
I got acute schizophrenia paranoia too,
Schizophrenia, schizophrenia,
Ive got it, youve got it, we cant lose,
Acute schizophrenia blues,
Theyre watching my house and theyre tapping my telephone,
I cant trust nobody, but Im much too scared to be on my own
And the income tax collectors got his beady eye on me,
Oh there aint no cure for acute schizophrenia disease.
No there aint no cure for
Schizophrenia disease.

Ain't No Cure For Love (Crush Demo)
Aint no cure for love

There aint no cure for love

Cupid was a blind man
He must have missed his mark
Shot an arrow in the air and hit me in the heart
I went to see Saint Valentine
Said Whats come over me?
Daddy must have missed the chapter about the birds and bees
You can be the King of diamonds
You can cash in all your gold
You could hire Johnnie Cochran
Its too late to save your soul
Dont need no shot, no ambulance
Dont need prescription drugs
There aint no cure for love
They can find the cure for the common cold
When the pushing comes to shove
There aint no cure for love
Now someone call my lawyer
Im going to see my shrink
I found myself in the jewelry store buying a diamond ring
I went to see my doctor
Said Wont you help me please?
He said Son Im sorry, its a terminal disease
Cant get no love insurance
Cupid draws his bow
I aint waving boys, Im drowning
Its a damn good way to go
Dont need no shot, no ambulance
Dont need prescription drugs
There aint no cure for love
They can find the cure for the common cold
When the pushing comes to shove
There aint no cure for love
You can be the King of Diamonds
You can cash in all your gold

Its too late to save your soul
Dont need no shot, no ambulance
Dont need prescription drugs
There aint no cure for love
They can find the cure for the common cold
When the pushing comes to shove
There aint no cure for love
No aspirin
No ambulance
Or Voodoo you can think up
Aint no cure for love
Aint no cure for love
Aint no cure for love
Aint no cure for love
There aint no cure for love
Aint no cure for love
Aint no cure for love

I do not understand how anyone can, in good conscience, tell a family whose child is suffering from a life-threatening disease that politics is more important than finding a cure.
Philosophy triumphs easily over past evils and future evils; but present evils triumph over it.

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.

You were like a disease
Babe now you are gone it’s a great relief
You were like a disease it’s my belief!
There was no cure and I was suffering so extremely
I was afraid you were such a disease that might kill me!
Babe now you are gone though I am alone
I feel like I am no longer a stone!
There was no help and I didn’t know at all what to do
Now I can smile from my soul though at last I have lost you!

If it were possible to cure evils by lamentation and to raise the dead with tears, then gold would be a less valuable thing than weeping.
I Had A Chance!
i had a chance
to feed the hungry,
to stop all the wars...
to house the homeless.
to name undiscovered stars,
to know the depths of the oceans....
to fly with the hawk,
to discover fire again.
to cure the disease,
to replant the forests.
to take the secrets of nuclear
power and hide them away...
to take in the orphans,
to climb the highest mountain.
to tear down the pyramids,
step by step...
i had a chance
to rewrite history...
but i chose instead
to sit by your bed,
a shadow hidden by darkness....
waiting, in the stillness,
for the door of your heart
to open again...
may God
forgive me for that!

Man Forgets
Man, He seems to always forget
His sins from his own conflict,
And the evils he does against another man.
But then he will always remember
That one cold day in that one December,
When he gave out a helping hand.
He will remember his deed of good
When he helped another as he should,
But he’ll forget the evils that he has also done.
He will forget when he had cheated and had lied
When he had stolen and abused and cried,
And when he lost, but instead he said he had won.
Man will forget his pity and his shame
Will not remember his losses but only his gain,
His deeds will be like coal and its dying ember.
He will forget all of his evils ways
As he hoped that they will all be washed away,
But what Man forgets, GOD he will remember.

Hunger
Tell you a story
bout a friend of mine
Woke up in this room
Looked like... black and white movies
No light
And someone strange in the bed
She said
You could be here forever
Can you feel me?
Im the new disease
Im like a hunger
That youve never known
Do you want me?
Ill take everything
Im like a hunger
Lying in your heart
He made excuses
Tried to leave the room
She said
Im the disease and the cure
Skin mechanics
Couldnt help you here
The nature of need
Leaves you junk sick and lonely
Trick it up
Trick it up good
She moved
Like a ghost to the door
She said
This is a re-al love story
I heard his voice
And walked in on it all
She said
You could be here forever
