Addiction

(Verse 1) You're catastrophic but you're mine. A measured dose. A perfect high. Enough mercy to blur the line. Enough space to keep me dying. You disappear, instinctive. Return as withdrawal wins. You drown me in the silence. You surface to pull me back in. I know what you are. I know what you do. The truth was not the issue. It was you. (Pre-Chorus) You say, "Come." I crawl. You say, "Leave." I fall. And I die when Your dose wears off. (Chorus) Keep me chasing. Enough to feel the flame. Enough to keep me craving. Always hungry. Never changed. You're poison and medication. The needle in my veins. Infect me with temptation. When you strike the match, I can breathe again. (Verse 2) Your affection comes in shatters. Measured out with practiced hands. Every time my pulse goes steady, You're my relapse again. I catalog your contradiction. Floating in the shades of gray. Like understanding someone's damaged. Makes surviving them okay. (Pre-Chorus) You promised forever. You promised enough. Now every empty hour Feels like quitting what I love. (Chorus) Keep me chasing. Enough to feel the flame. Enough to keep me craving. Always hungry. Never changed. You're poison and medication. The needle in my veins. Infect me with temptation. You strike the match, I can breathe again. (Bridge) It's chemical. It's magical. Your name rewired my brain. Goodbye is a detox. Hello starts again. (Final Chorus) You'll come back when the silence Sounds like I'm clean. You'll smile like I never spent Sleeplessly in between. I know exactly who you are. That's never been the fight. The hardest habit I've ever broken Keeps walking back into my life. Keep me chasing. Enough to feel the flame. Enough to keep me craving. Always hungry. Never changed. You're poison and medication. The needle in my veins. Infect me with temptation You strike the match, I can breathe again.
