My Addiction, My Pain
There’s a fire
And it’s inside o’ me
There’s a grave
And it’s beside me
There’s a drug
And it surrounds me
For you are my addiction
And the pleasure in this pain
It alarms me
And the violence in this pain
It mystifies me
There’s a love
And it overwhelms me
There’s a hate
And it empowers me
There’s a drug
And it calls to me
For you are my addiction
And the pleasure in this pain
It blinds me
And violence in this pain
It enchants me
And I run from the drug
I run from the pain
I’m running and I’m running from you
But you’re always there, chanting my name
And when you catch me
(For you always do)
I know you’ll embrace me
But those stone arms they kill me
I’m being crushed, crushed back to dust
And I’m falling, dispersing
I. Am. Falling.
And there’s a pleasure in this pain
And it soothes me
And there’s a violence in this pain
And it shatters me
But it’s ok
Because you are my drug
And you desensitize me.
And it’s inside o’ me
There’s a grave
And it’s beside me
There’s a drug
And it surrounds me
For you are my addiction
And the pleasure in this pain
It alarms me
And the violence in this pain
It mystifies me
There’s a love
And it overwhelms me
There’s a hate
And it empowers me
There’s a drug
And it calls to me
For you are my addiction
And the pleasure in this pain
It blinds me
And violence in this pain
It enchants me
And I run from the drug
I run from the pain
I’m running and I’m running from you
But you’re always there, chanting my name
And when you catch me
(For you always do)
I know you’ll embrace me
But those stone arms they kill me
I’m being crushed, crushed back to dust
And I’m falling, dispersing
I. Am. Falling.
And there’s a pleasure in this pain
And it soothes me
And there’s a violence in this pain
And it shatters me
But it’s ok
Because you are my drug
And you desensitize me.
