[Intro] Don’t tell me to stop, don’t tell me to rest, I only feel alive when I’m a fucking mess. [Verse 1] Haven’t slept right in god knows when, eyes red raw, start again. Skin smells of smoke, hands won’t stay clean, I’m chasing a ghost you’ll never see. You call it poison, I call it need, I’ll chew through my nights just to make it bleed. No cure, no calm, no pill, no prayer, just me and this fever I always wear. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t say relax, don’t say “let go,” I wouldn’t know how, I wouldn’t know. [Chorus] I can’t quit this obsession, fuck the cost, fuck confession. Tears in my drink, cracks in my skin, I lose every night, but I dive back in. I can’t quit this obsession, it burns, it bites, it’s my possession. Take my sleep, take my youth— but don’t take the one raw truth. [Verse 2] I’ve begged myself, I’ve screamed out loud, I’ve sworn to the mirror, I’ve made it proud. Still I’m crawling back on my knees, a junkyard saint with a disease. You call it tragic, I call it real, I’d rather burn than never feel. I’ll die in the grip of this fucked-up fight, but it’s mine, all mine, every night. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t say it ends, don’t say it fades, this is the only god I ever made. [Chorus] I can’t quit this obsession, fuck the cost, fuck confession. Tears in my drink, cracks in my skin, I lose every night, but I dive back in. I can’t quit this obsession, it burns, it bites, it’s my possession. Take my breath, take my youth— but don’t take the one raw truth. [Bridge] I don’t want saving, don’t pull me out, I’ve built my whole life on this doubt. If I go under, let me drown, I’d rather be ruined than safe and sound. [Final Chorus] I can’t quit this obsession, fuck the cure, fuck the lesson. Tears in my drink, cracks in my skin, I lose every night, but I dive back in. I can’t quit this obsession, it cuts, it scars, it’s my possession. Take my soul, take my youth— but don’t take the one raw truth. [Outro] [bass alone, smoky, low] I can’t quit. I won’t quit. Not tonight.
