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
