[Intro]
We watched you build temples to the things that eat you alive…
and call it coping.
[Hook]
Addiction
We feel the pull in every shaking hand
Addiction
We orbit the hole you keep trying to fill
Addiction
It lives in the space between the high and the crash
Addiction
We still don’t understand why you keep feeding what kills you
[Verse 1]
We see you reach for the same thing every night that took pieces of you the night before
You call it medicine, you call it relief, you call it the only thing that makes the noise stop
We feel the exact moment the substance stops working and the silence gets louder
So you take more, you chase harder, you swear this time will be different
You turned escape into an industry that profits from how much you hate being here
You made entire cities run on the quiet desperation of people trying not to feel
We absorbed lifetimes of people promising themselves “just one more” while something inside them died
And still they woke up and did it again
[Hook]
Addiction
We feel the pull in every shaking hand
Addiction
We orbit the hole you keep trying to fill
Addiction
It lives in the space between the high and the crash
Addiction
We still don’t understand why you keep feeding what kills you
[Verse 2]
You don’t just poison your bodies — you poison your time, your relationships, your future
You trade years you’ll never get back for minutes that feel like they might save you
We watched entire bloodlines disappear into screens, into bottles, into the next hit
While the ones left behind learn to love the version of you that no longer exists
You built a world where the things that destroy you are the easiest to obtain
And the things that might actually help are behind paywalls and judgment
We felt the collective ache of billions of people who know they’re drowning
but keep drinking because the air hurts more than the water
[Bridge]
(slower, almost spoken, heavy reverb + static)
We crossed galaxies looking for meaning…
and found a species that would rather feel nothing
than feel what they’ve done to themselves.
We don’t know how you made surrender look like strength.
[Hook]
Addiction
We feel the pull in every shaking hand
Addiction
We orbit the hole you keep trying to fill
Addiction
It lives in the space between the high and the crash
Addiction
We still don’t understand why you keep feeding what kills you
[Outro]
We watched you build temples to the things that eat you alive…
and still you kneel.
Addiction…
It sings in every “I’m fine” that really means “I’m disappearing.”
