MY NAME IS ADDICTION
My name is addiction and I'm a killer of men
To try me once is the worst of all sin
At first people think I'm sexy and fine
Until my grip grows like a green ivy vine
The battles rage on within your head
Forcing you to join the living dead
For blessed death is the coveted sorrow
Here today but released tomorrow
In lieu of reality you self medicate
Without a doubt slow death is your fate
Relief from pain is all that you seek
Enshrouded by addiction you are rendered meek
You couldn't stop to save your own life
Nor could you do it for your kids or your wife
For millions of people have known me well
And most have been sent straight to hell
My name is addiction and I am evil and mean
To me it doesn't matter how long you've been clean
For my name is addiction and I'm a killer of men
Just try me once and you'll be back again

To try me once is the worst of all sin
At first people think I'm sexy and fine
Until my grip grows like a green ivy vine
The battles rage on within your head
Forcing you to join the living dead
For blessed death is the coveted sorrow
Here today but released tomorrow
In lieu of reality you self medicate
Without a doubt slow death is your fate
Relief from pain is all that you seek
Enshrouded by addiction you are rendered meek
You couldn't stop to save your own life
Nor could you do it for your kids or your wife
For millions of people have known me well
And most have been sent straight to hell
My name is addiction and I am evil and mean
To me it doesn't matter how long you've been clean
For my name is addiction and I'm a killer of men
Just try me once and you'll be back again
