Addiction

The broken souls of lost sanity
comprise the throne on which I stay
and harvest fields of guilt, regret
and the lives that they've thrown away

The children on these streets will sell
their minds, then sell their souls
They sell their bodies to fill their veins
with the poison that's taking hold

I am your conscience
Gone astray
I am your life wasting away
I feel your pain
I know it's there
I hear you screaming
But I don't care

I am the one who took your hopes and dreams away
I built the prison where your fallen heroes stay
I made a wall, carved in stone of your affliction
I own you now, I am the voice of your addiction

They crave the thing that's killing them
To hush the voice that's in their heads
They don't have time to give a fuck
They're living fast, they'll soon be dead

The victims cry for change
yet no one hears the words they say
bound by chains of fear and pain
to keep them all at bay

I am your conscience
Gone astray
I am your life wasting away
I feel your pain
I know it's there
I hear you screaming
But I don't care

I am the one who took your hopes and dreams away
I built the prison where your fallen heroes stay
I made a wall, carved in stone of your affliction
I own you now, I am the voice of your addiction

I built the Hell that holds you here
I took the things that you hold dear
I brought you down, I fed you lies
I'll break you down and I'll make you die

I am the one who took your hopes and dreams away
I built the prison where your fallen heroes stay
I made a wall, carved in stone of your affliction
I own you now, I am the voice of your addiction

I am your God
I am your soul
I am you damnation
