The Voice Of Addiction

It's nice to finally meet you
I've been waiting for your call
I've noticed you've been crying
And I've watched you pace the hall

Whatever has been hurting you
I can make it disappear
You know you have nothing to lose
Nothing to live for, nothing to fear

Thank you for your intervention
I'll be sure not to leave your side
We'll become very fast acquainted
My naive child, there's no use trying to hide

I should probably introduce myself
I am your very own addiction
But you cannot be angry with me
I am your own self-conviction

I bet you feel rather stupid
Falling right into my lap
I'm a master of manipulation
You'll never escape my trap

How does it feel to dance with the devil
For He and I are one in the same
God has completely abandoned you
So you might as well stay in the game

Are you honestly going to try and beat me
A useless battle if you want to know
Go ahead and make an attempt
Besides I'm in the mood for a good show

I guess you think you're special
But your sobriety has only lasted a year
I'm still around every corner
In the back of your mind; I'm your greatest fear

I'll always be your dirty little secret
I won't disappear
Twenty years from now you may falter
And I'll be the first thing that comes to your mind

A vicious cycle is what you're thinking
But I'm only speaking the truth
I'm Satin's weapon of mass destruction
The silent killer of America's youth

Its genius when you think of it
Everyone's looking for some Armageddon war
But what the fools don't realize is
Everyday Armageddon walks through their front door
