One brief recollection of all the people
in my life that have come and gone
One brief fleeting moment of people I've loved
and people that I have wronged
Long lost are loved ones gone but this bird
cannot seem to mend it's broken wings
so the lust for life dissipates and a
new greed rises for the needful things.
Don't wanna think about it, I Indulge myself
distraction eases pain,
bury my emotions to protect myself.
Till I can't feel a fucking thing
I've dared to dream I've tried to live, but I've played it safe again
Just another slave to my vices now, Bring out your dead
Voices wither and crack then die
ringin' in my ear would sing me soft asleep
Deathly silence now is all I hear
has inspiration finally eluded me
My addiction, my illness, my only trusted friend
My addiction my illness my only childhood fiend.
Your twisted warm embrace engulfing all I tried to be
My body's breaking under arms that will not set me free
Locked in this cage that I've built myself
constructed out of twisted cold reminders of a life once lost
But I've found my way again.
Here among the wreckage and the vampires
I'll play it safe again, just another slave to my vices now.
My addiction, my illness, my only trusted friend
My addiction my illness.
