ADDICTION

---

​If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go. BAD 

I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now.
​STUCK IN A MOMENT YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF

Carnival, the wheels fly and the colours spin through alcohol
Red wine that punctures the skin
Face to face in a dry and waterless place. THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE

I tied myself with wire
To let the horses run free
Playing with the fire
Until the fire played with me. MOMENT OF SURRENDER

This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation. BAD

Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out
You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice
You know I took the poison, from the poison stream
Then I floated out of here. RUNNING TO STAND STILL

I've been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body's now a begging bowl
That's begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart. MOMENT OF SURRENDER

In the cold mirror of a glass
I see my reflection pass
I see the dark shades of what I used to be
I see the purple of her eyes
The scarlet of my lies
Love rescue me. LOVE RESCUE ME

Every drunk back on the booze
All falling at your feet. FALLING AT YOUR FEET

Empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee-sting
Blinded, you lost your way
In the side streets and the alleyways. ANGEL OF HARLEM

Every breaking wave on the shore
Tells the next one there’ll be one more
And every gambler knows that to lose
Is what you’re really there for. EVERY BREAKING WAVE

I've conquered my past
The future is here at last
I stand at the entrance to a new world I can see
The ruins to the right of me
Will soon have lost sight of me
Love, rescue me. LOVE RESCUE ME

She is raging
She is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes
She will suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand still. RUNNING TO STAND STILL
