Candy

Late nights, I chase the glow Fingers trembling, but I don’t let go Every hit a fleeting friend Pulls me close, then lets me descend I tell myself I’m in control But I can feel it deep in my soul Your sweetness hiding all the pain And I keep coming back again I know it’s wrong, I know it burns Still I’m addicted, still I return A fragile heart beneath the weight Of every high that seals my fate Candy on my tongue, I’m alive and gone Euphoric rush, then I’m holding on You lift me up, then leave me low I crave the pain I shouldn’t know Every taste, bittersweet and cruel I’m dancing blind, playing by your rules Candy on my tongue, I’m alive and gone But I keep chasing what’s already done Fingers strum this hollow sound Echoes of the nights I’ve drowned I hide the cracks beneath my skin A fleeting comfort pulling me in The world feels sharper when you’re near Yet sweeter when I disappear A fragile spark, I try to fight But Candy whispers through the night I know it’s wrong, I know it burns Still I’m addicted, still I return A fragile heart beneath the weight Of every high that seals my fate Candy on my tongue, I’m alive and gone Euphoric rush, then I’m holding on You lift me up, then leave me low I crave the pain I shouldn’t know Every taste, bittersweet and cruel I’m dancing blind, playing by your rules Candy on my tongue, I’m alive and gone Soft strings and finger-picked lines I feel your pull, I feel the signs Every high a memory Of who I am when I’m not free Candy on my tongue, I’m alive and gone Euphoric rush, then I’m holding on You lift me up, then leave me low I crave the pain I shouldn’t know Every taste, bittersweet and cruel I’m dancing blind, playing by your rules Candy on my tongue, I’m alive and gone Still I keep chasing what’s already done Layered harmonies rise, echoes of the fall I’m lost in Candy, yet I want it all
