[Verse] I hear the whispers crawl through the cracks Long shadows stretch they pull me back The mirror shakes it won't reflect A stranger's face I can't correct [Prechorus] Every step it follows close A ghost that wears my skin Every breath it holds me tight How did this begin [Chorus] It’s crawling through my veins again A serpent made of sin I fight I claw I scream I run But it always pulls me in I’m addicted to the dark my friend And the dark is where I’ve been [Verse 2] I see its grin behind my eyes It turns my truths to crooked lies My hands are shaking but they won’t let go Of the chains that feel like home [Bridge] I burned the bridges but they still glow The ash and ember won't let me go I cut the strings but I still dance To its tune A cursed romance [Chorus] It’s crawling through my veins again A serpent made of sin I fight I claw I scream I run But it always pulls me in I’m addicted to the dark my friend And the dark is where I’ve been
