I don't have an Addiction! You Do!

[Pre-Chorus]
I tell myself, "Enough"
I tell myself, "Stay proud"
But my hands keep shaking
When it starts to crowd
The taste, the spark, the rush
It sings my bones alive
I keep my posture noble
As it drags me to the drive

[Chorus]
I don't have an addiction, you do!
That's what I tell my mirror at dawn
I don't have an addiction, you do!
While I take another breath and lean on
That sweet, sick glow
That sweet, sick glow
I don't have an addiction, you do!
No, I just know what I want

[Verse 2]
My staff sits in the corner
Like a judge in the dark
I walk past twice, then circle
Then I circle back for sparks
The curtains smell like secrets
The candles bend their heads
And every lock in the manor
Feels loose inside my chest

[Pre-Chorus]
I promise this is discipline
I promise this is grace
Then the little flame in my palm
Starts smiling in my face
It says, "You know my name"
It says, "You know my sound"
I laugh like I am winning
Then I pull the whole jar down

[Bridge]
Call me vain, call me vain
I can quit if I choose
But my hands keep reaching
For the ember in the blue
If this is disgrace
Then it's draped in silk
I wear my ruin proudly
Like a cup of stolen milk

[Final Chorus]
I don't have an addiction, you do!
That's what I tell my mirror at dawn
I don't have an addiction, you do!
While I take another breath and lean on
That sweet, sick glow
That sweet, sick glow
I don't have an addiction, you do!
No, I just know what I want

[Outro]
So bow when I pass you
And pretend you don't see
That your holy little virtue
Looks so shaky next to me
I don't have an addiction
I don't have an addiction
I don't have an addiction, you do!

[Verse 1] I wake with the hunger Behind my perfect face Red-gold robes, neat cuffs And a stain I cannot trace I say, "Just one small taste" Then the room goes thin That sweet green fire Always talks me back in [Pre-Chorus] I tell myself, "Enough" I tell myself, "Stay proud" But my hands keep shaking When it starts to crowd The taste, the spark, the rush It sings my bones alive I keep my posture noble As it drags me to the drive [Chorus] I don't have an addiction, you do!
