Lyrics

Addiction
(Anthony Cormican)


When I'm feeling all alone
That's when I need you deep inside
But you always make me wanna die
Look into my eyes
I'll tell you there's nothing wrong
As I crawl back into my hole and break down
I'm tired from it all

And you know (you lie) I'll always be there for you (you lie)
And you know I'll always be a savior to you (why do you lie?)

Then I'm cursing you again cause you've brought me down this far
I've lied for you, I've stole for you, I killed for you today
But sometimes I feel that you are my friend
And though you try to take my life I know I'll try again

Cause I always come back to you
You know I'll always come back to you

I'll come back

Why does it feel like this?
When everyday the light I crave is smothered by the darkness
And I know even though my eyes are covered with a glow
That it can not be this way
Cause I'm feeling like, I'm feeling like the living dead

And you know (you lie) I'll always be there for you (why do you lie)
And you know (you lie) I'll always be the one that takes care of you
(why do you lie?)

But I always come back to you
Why do I always come back to you?
Cause I always come back - NO!!

Addiction, assume default position, this is mine so back up and listen
Don't bring me down, don't crucify me for the things that I believe
I've tuned in and been deceived, I can't say that I'm relieved by the things that I read
Like, 'the prayers that you pray turn water to wine in your creed'.
What's the use of self abuse if it doesn't even make you bleed?
The noose tightens for us everyday so why do you choose to live your life this way?
Don't preach to me, don't try to fill me with the shit that you believe
How can you be so damn naïve with your acceptance, I reject this
Cause the good book is nothing but a method of using our fear to infect us
With excuses that God will help us.

You know I'll always come back again
Even though I hate you and the things you do
I'll always come back
But why do you lie to me
When I give of myself for assurance during death that you'll be there for me?
When is my time gonna come - is it soon?
And when I go, will you soothe my soul?

Come back to you -
You know I'll always.
