Addiction

The broken souls of lost sanity

comprise the throne on which I stay

and harvest fields of guilt, regret

and the lives that they've thrown away

The children on these streets will sell

their minds, then sell their souls

They sell their bodies to fill their veins

with the poison that's taking hold

I am your conscience

Gone astray

I am your life wasting away

I feel your pain

I know it's there

I hear you screaming

But I don't care

I am the one who took your hopes and dreams away

I built the prison where your fallen heroes stay

I made a wall, carved in stone of your affliction

I own you now, I am the voice of your addiction

They crave the thing that's killing them

To hush the voice that's in their heads

They don't have time to give a fuck

They're living fast, they'll soon be dead

The victims cry for change

yet no one hears the words they say

bound by chains of fear and pain

to keep them all at bay

I am your conscience

Gone astray

I am your life wasting away

I feel your pain

I know it's there

I hear you screaming

But I don't care

I am the one who took your hopes and dreams away

I built the prison where your fallen heroes stay

I made a wall, carved in stone of your affliction

I own you now, I am the voice of your addiction

I built the Hell that holds you here

I took the things that you hold dear

I brought you down, I fed you lies

I'll break you down and I'll make you die

I am the one who took your hopes and dreams away

I built the prison where your fallen heroes stay

I made a wall, carved in stone of your affliction

I own you now, I am the voice of your addiction

I am your God

I am your soul

I am you damnation
