Ballad of Addiction

Shadows crawl like velvet vines
Whispering secrets in broken rhymes
In the mirror, a fading glow
Trading my heartbeat for undertow

Smoke turns to feathers, floating high
Wings of wax beneath a midnight sky
Catching fire in a crystal haze
Blinded by the light of endless days

I'm chasing dragons down the wire
Bottled lightning, feeding fire
Golden chains that bind my soul
Hold me tight, but leave a hole
I'm a puppet on a thread too thin
Dancing with the beast within

Dreams in needles, painting skin
Colors fade, but I dive back in
Lured by the sirens of false delight
Sailing on seas of endless night

Waves of glass beneath my feet
Every hit feels bittersweet
Staring at the moon, a hollow eye
Calling me back though I know the lie

I'm chasing dragons down the wire
Bottled lightning, feeding fire
Golden chains that bind my soul
Hold me tight, but leave a hole
I'm a puppet on a thread too thin
Dancing with the beast within

I've built my castle on sinking sand
Fingers grasp, but lose their hand
Echoes whisper through empty halls
Promises carved in crumbling walls

I'm chasing dragons down the wire
Bottled lightning, feeding fire
Golden chains that bind my soul
Hold me tight, but leave a hole
I'm a puppet on a thread too thin
Dancing with the beast within
