Addiction

(album: If It Was Easy - 2019)

I'm a darkness, comes in any size
You can't hide me, they can see it in your eyes
Sinner or saint, I'll leave you telling lies
But I'll be with you 'til the day you die

Hiding in the shadows down the street
Just waiting for the chance for us to meet
Once I have you I won't let you go
Jesus can have your heart but I'll take your soul

Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

You can try to put me down but again you'll fail
This ain't my first rodeo, gonna put you through hell
As you lie in bed with the sweats and the shakes
I'll be waiting over here when your fever breaks

Make you steal from your mom, make you steal from your dad
I'll make you sell everything that you have
Forget about your kids, forget about your wife
'Cause I'm the only thing that you need in life

Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Well, I didn't come to you, you came to me
So I'm not the one to blame, you see
Talk about all the things you changed
When the morning comes one thing remains the same

You can hear the voices calling down the hall
Ain't nobody there 'cause you've lost it all
Come next week, you'll be living in the street
Don't worry, brother, I got all you need

Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Well, I come in many forms, whiskey and pills
Cocaine, meth, whatever spins your wheels
I've been bought and I've been sold
But when I'm in your system, I take control

My name's Addiction, it's a powerful name
If you don't believe me, come and play my game
I've took the best and watched 'em go insane
Or just kicked back and watched them go up in flames

Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm a darkness, comes in any size
You can't hide me, they can see it in your eyes
Sinner or saint, I'll leave you telling lies
But I'll be with you 'til the day you die
