A NEW ADDICTION

So all your prayers were answered and you got what you desired,
ain´t it funny how it feels your mind is going.
Maybe it´s a substitute, you´re pretending it´s the real thing,
still it doesn´t keep your appetite from growing

  Farewell to an old obsession for now
  High on a new addiction

Your poor heart aches in silence to the rythm of my breathing
you´re covered in my arms, still you´re alone.
Strung out on my words, that clutter up your ears
I´m asking for your heart, but that birds flown

  Farewell to an old obsession for now
  High on a new addiction

& what about the pain you stuff inside your head?
you fondle it at night cause it´s your best friend
It´s the lover that you´ve wanted, the dream you´ve waited for
it´s those suicide notes you write, but never send

  Farewell to an old obsession for now
  High on a new addiction
