So the hours keep slipping by like mercury The drug of your attention drags Me so far down Keep letting you sink your claws into my heart Though I know it's a lie Doesn't mean I won't try To make you love me And though I know It's a trap I can't let go You're stuck in my mind Old habits die hard and I know that I'm breaking My mind has gone away Now I'm yours for the taking I can't stop myself I just want to die And I know you don't care and that nothing is real But ******* I'm a ******* sucker for you And when you hold me I think it all could come true And though I know It's a trap I can't let go You're stuck in my mind I can feel I should hate you but I just can't Should despise you for forcing your way into my head And building a nest Of your lies and deceit And feeding me wishes and broken-off dreams Why do I keep letting you in When I know you couldn't care less Why am I losing myself When God knows it's nothing As far as you're concerned And I'm spiralling into The cold-hearted desert of you And though I know It's a trap I can't let go You're stuck in my mind And I'm running the hell out of time

Addiction for Attention
So the hours keep slipping by like mercury The drug of your attention drags Me so far down Keep letting you sink your claws into my heart Though I know it's a lie Doesn't mean I won't try To make you love me And though I know It's a trap I can't let go You're stuck in my mind Old habits die hard and I know that I'm breaking My mind has gone away Now I'm yours for the taking I can't stop myself I just want to die And I know you don't care and that nothing is real But ******* I'm a ******* sucker for you And when you hold me I think it all could come true And though I know It's a trap I can't let go You're stuck in my mind I can feel I should hate you but I just can't Should despise you for forcing your way into my head And building a nest Of your lies and deceit And feeding me wishes and broken-off dreams Why do I keep letting you in When I know you couldn't care less Why am I losing myself When God knows it's nothing As far as you're concerned And I'm spiralling into The cold-hearted desert of you And though I know It's a trap I can't let go You're stuck in my mind And I'm running the hell out of time
