•There’s a addiction living in us all•

I woke up with a hunger I couldn't put a name to Something underneath me Saying, "I've got a game for you" Johnny needed something Just to get him through the day Said he only had it Mondays Then the Mondays slipped away Sarah chased the feeling Of being somebody new Every mirror told a story But she never liked the view Tommy needed money Mary needed someone Danny needed silence When the evening finally come And I stood there pointing fingers Like I'd never needed more Till I heard a little voice inside Knocking at my door Everybody wants something Everybody feeds the flame Some people call it pleasure Some people call it pain There's an addiction living in us all Something waiting when we fall Something whispering, "Just one more" Something we've been hiding from There's an addiction living in us all We build it up, then watch it crawl And when we finally face ourselves We find out what we're running from Some chase love till love gets tired Some chase gold till gold gets old Some chase God through empty churches Some chase stories they've been sold Some need eyes upon them Some need nobody there Some keep moving every minute Just so they don't have to care Some drink to kill the memory Some work until they break Some sleep through every morning Some can't sleep for their mistakes And I thought addiction meant You had to lose control But maybe it's the little things We use to fill the hole And maybe mine is anger Maybe yours is being right Maybe hers is being wanted Maybe his is staying high Maybe we don't need a needle Maybe we don't need a pill Maybe sometimes all we need Is someone saying, "You can still..." "...still..." You can still come home. There's an addiction living in us all Something waiting when we fall Something whispering, "Just one more" Something we've been hiding from There's an addiction living in us all We build it up, then watch it crawl But if we finally face ourselves Maybe we don't have to run I wanted more More than I needed I wanted love But couldn't receive it I wanted peace But fed the fire I wanted truth But loved the liar Tell me what you're feeding Tell me what you're feeding Tell me what you're feeding When nobody's watching... What are you feeding? The fear. What are you feeding? The need. What are you feeding? The thing inside me That will never let me leave. There's an addiction living in us all Something waiting when we fall But maybe knowing what it is Is where we start to heal There's an addiction living in us all Something underneath us all And maybe being human Means admitting what we feel Everybody wants something... Everybody needs something... Everybody feeds something... Just make sure It isn't feeding on you.
