When are you going to tire of chasing me?
Making me look into open space sometimes so vacantly
I go and write songs about it, I do
Lose my head trying to find you.

Feels like I'm always so close to the fire
Becoming a danger to myself, I feel like a liar
I remember thinking you could be so cheesy, it was easy
And I’m an open book, everyone can read me.

Is this something you want?
Out the door before my jackets on
And carry on
Where's the magic gone?

You used to turn me on

So you want me to be more apathetic?
But still call me pathetic?
If I'm honest you don’t take me there no more
So why you on my lips for?

Bringing me up just to drag me down
Leaving me here in this crumbling town

You’re the reason I can’t sleep.
Punching your holes in too many of my memories
Making me freeze with your ease
Manipulating my energies

Is this something you want?
Another hit and miss before it’s gone
Is this what I'm living on?

I’m always pouring over messages
Becoming someone else, it's all relative
And I’m so negative
I wanna get high on your sedative

Bringing me back down to earth
Making my feet hurt, their caked in dirt
But I don’t mistake what this is, you’re just a flirt

Where's the magic gone?
It's been too long
And you don’t know how to turn me on
Not anymore.
This is about addiction. Darren Riley.
