Decay by AKENYA published on 2018-05-31T04:26:50Z "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.

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.
