Addiction

Addiction We all have one Crawling around in every dawn Like the black swan has its color to hate You have darkness you use as bait Addiction, which one’s yours The one you deny and excuse Is it called love, is it called hate Whatever will seal your fate Look at your face in the broken mirror Look for your eyes in every shard Once you’re gone it’s for ever You can’t go back from being scarred Addiction, in reality it’s mere illusion Nothingness you live to make real Part of yourself that is confusion The bet you lost when you made the deal Pull out the dagger form your heart Wipe the pain on your white sleeve You know from what you grew apart You forgot to love and learned to deceive Addiction The torturous friend now ennemy The demon you were and now restrained The prison from who you are now free The tears from the black river now drained
