addiction
it's like after a first kill
a dull pain for the bloodspill
it's like after a one-night stand
when emptiness takes your hand
such an emptiness after such a show
what a splendid way for this to grow
and entangle me in its nightshade grasp
and turn sour all that i love best
it's like when animals copulate
you can never quite fully relate
it's like heroin only it's unexpected
one sip of this and you're addicted
and from then on there's no pity
just a looming fear of obscurity
and you live to wait to die again
on a stage where none knows your name
every night
the spotlights draw the halo, the spotlights draw my halo
every night
i'm just a one balancing out a lonely zero
every night
when the curtain falls i fall with it too
every night
i'm less and less myself and more and more you
confiscate my joy and amplify my fears
and you keep on screaming into my ears
how you love me, how you care
but you never knew how to share
and you'll never let me go but
anyway i never really want to stop
you, muse of the music and stage
and me, a songbird in a gilded cage
every night
the spotlights draw the halo, the spotlights draw my halo
every night
i'm just a one balancing out a lonely zero
every night
when the curtain falls i fall with it too
every night
i'm less and less myself and more and more you
