Addiction

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 tellin' lies
But I'll be with you 'til the day you die

Hidin' in the shadows down the street
Just waitin' for a 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

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 waitin' over here when your fever breaks

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

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 change
When the morning comes one thing remains
You can hear the voices callin' down the hall
Ain't nobody there 'cause you've lost it all
Come next week you'll be livin' in the street
Don't worry brother I got all you need

Well I come in many forms
Whiskey and pills
Cocaine, meth, whatever spins your wheels
I been bought and I been sold
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 took the best and watched 'em go insane
Just kicked back and watched 'em go up in flames

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 tellin' lies
But I'll be with you 'til the day you die
