ADDICTED

The scars that you gifted me are starting to fade
But I still see your face even at the grave
The opium for the grim phobias within
Feeding my haunted closet full of skeletons

how can you not remember me
after all our tarnished memories?
now i have nothing left to give
addicted to the agony

HOW CAN THIS BE THE LAST TIME?
YOU KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE

Now I am changing my mask
I go from blue to black
Just to hide away the bruise
I am losing my grip
And am starting to slip
An addict of reality
Of all the agony
And I just don’t know

WHAT TO DO WITHOUT YOU

Madness in the darkness compelling me now
Precariously walking the ledge somehow
The laudanum for the bleak autumn of war
As I sadly promise to love you nevermore

how can i ever forget you
after all of our late night rendezvous?
now i have nothing left to give
addicted to the agony

HOW CAN THIS BE THE LAST TIME?
YOU KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE

Now I am changing my mask
I go from blue to black
Just to hide away the bruise
I am losing my grip
And am starting to slip
An addict of reality
Of all the agony
And I just don’t know

WHAT TO DO WITHOUT YOU

DEAD ROSES SCATTERED ABOUT OUR CHAMBER
CRIMSON AND OBSIDIAN COLD AS DEATH
A SILENT SONG AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
YOU’LL ALWAYS FIND ME CRAWLING BACK FOR MORE
MURDER ME AGAIN TO BE YOUR HADES
AND I’LL HOLD YOU CLOSE, MY PERSEPHONE
THE DEVIL’S HEART AT THE END OF THE WORLD
YOU’LL ALWAYS FIND ME COMING BACK FOR WAR

how can you not remember me
after all our tarnished memories?
now i have nothing left to give
addicted to the agony

HOW CAN THIS BE THE LAST TIME?
YOU KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE

Now I am changing my mask
I go from blue to black
Just to hide away the bruise
I am losing my grip
And am starting to slip
An addict of reality
Of all the agony
And I just don’t know

WHAT TO DO WITHOUT YOU
