Addiction
Is it true you hurt so badly - even the doctors cried
And you thought they'd cut you open to remove it from inside?
The disease that clawed and bit you tore your mind until it broke
With an agony suppressed until released it finally spoke
"I am your addiction, love your pain eternal foe
To those distressed and crying in the night 'please let me go.'
In wretchedness I find you in the darkest hours of life
In anguish I will leave you begging God to take your life
Saying: 'please, take me in the night.'
Who understood your misery - who else could know the pain
Who shared in all the suffering that wracked your fevered brain?
Addiction in your body, addiction in your mind
Only those addicted understood how you deny
"I am your addiction, love your pain eternal foe
To those distressed and crying in the night 'please let me go.'
In wretchedness I find you in the darkest hours of life
In anguish I will leave you begging God to take your life
Saying: 'please, take me in the night.'
Where do you sleep now my friend - where now do you lay?
What's become of the hungering which marked your every day?
For you redemption healing, oh still the ugly scars
Reminds you in odd moments, of exactly what you are
"I am your addiction, love your pain eternal foe
To those distressed and crying in the night 'please let me go.'
In wretchedness I find you in the darkest hours of life
In anguish I will leave you begging God to take your life
Saying: 'please, take me in the night.'
And you thought they'd cut you open to remove it from inside?
The disease that clawed and bit you tore your mind until it broke
With an agony suppressed until released it finally spoke
"I am your addiction, love your pain eternal foe
To those distressed and crying in the night 'please let me go.'
In wretchedness I find you in the darkest hours of life
In anguish I will leave you begging God to take your life
Saying: 'please, take me in the night.'
Who understood your misery - who else could know the pain
Who shared in all the suffering that wracked your fevered brain?
Addiction in your body, addiction in your mind
Only those addicted understood how you deny
"I am your addiction, love your pain eternal foe
To those distressed and crying in the night 'please let me go.'
In wretchedness I find you in the darkest hours of life
In anguish I will leave you begging God to take your life
Saying: 'please, take me in the night.'
Where do you sleep now my friend - where now do you lay?
What's become of the hungering which marked your every day?
For you redemption healing, oh still the ugly scars
Reminds you in odd moments, of exactly what you are
"I am your addiction, love your pain eternal foe
To those distressed and crying in the night 'please let me go.'
In wretchedness I find you in the darkest hours of life
In anguish I will leave you begging God to take your life
Saying: 'please, take me in the night.'
