Like the dose you munch to trail
I’m the drug that you inhale
Addiction starts when you taste my lips
Your stomach cramps but you take my trips
You love me
You hate me
You need me so bad
But the only fix I’ll let you have
Is a grain of sugar
I’m the pain you feel inside
You’ll wish forever you had died
You say you’re leaving yet you’re still here
And you know I’m blind to all your tears
You need me
You hate me
You love me, it’s sad
But the only fix I’ll let you have
Is a grain of sugar
You’ve tasted poison, you know it kills
You’ve felt the pain but want the thrills
I’m so cruel I’d let you die
You feel the love and just can’t hide
From magic addictions
Like the hunger after a meal
I’m the emptiness you feel
Deceptive game with tools so cunning
As I walk toward death you come running
You’re living
You’re dying
You’re thinking you’re mad
But the only fix I’ll let you have
Is a grain of sugar
I’m the peace of mind you need
Yet I’d be happy to watch you bleed
You would fight for me right to your grave
But when you’re all done you’re still my slave
You’re thinking
You’re dying
You’re living a fad
But the only fix I’ll let you have
Is a grain of sugar
You’ve tasted poison, you know it kills
You’ve felt the pain but want the thrills
I’m so cruel I’d let you die
You feel the love and just can’t hide
From magic addictions
