Addict Lyrics
Get Scared
Lyrics
No, don't tell me I'm alright
It seems the more I fall, the less I come alive
It's hard to see inside
Yeah!
This life that I have sworn to
But I never wanted this for anyone
And now you've taken my last breath
Sick from the weight left on my chest
No, don't tell me I'm alright (alright)
It seems the more I fall, the less I come alive
It's hard to see inside (see inside)
Just take a look behind the curtain of demise
I'm an addict, force of habit on the double
I spark the static for dramatics, call me trouble
You never would believe what I have become
And still I can't believe. I'm running!
No, don't tell me I'm alright (alright)
It seems the more I fall, the less I come alive
It's hard to see inside (see inside)
Just take a look behind the curtain of demise
And honestly I'm so far from home
Without a way to get back to me
Without a way to get back
No, don't tell me I'm alright
It seems the more I fall, the less I come alive
It's hard to see inside
Just take a look behind the curtain of demise!
No, don't tell me I'm alright (alright)
It seems the more I fall, the less I come alive
It's hard to see inside (see inside)
Just take a look behind the curtain of demise
