Addiction
Lefty Lyrics

Morning comes slow when you don't know
When you're uncertain about what the day will bring, time seems to move much slower.

If your gonna make it there so you bite your nails and pull your hair
When you're anxious about a particular outcome, you may engage in nervous habits such as biting nails and pulling hair.

You grind your teeth and man don't you do your share
Anxiety can manifest in physical ways such as grinding your teeth, and it can also make it difficult to focus on completing tasks.

It's a wicked addiction, pure friction
Addiction is a powerful and destructive force, causing constant conflict and friction within oneself.

And the truth about your lies is their all just fiction
Lying to oneself and others is a futile endeavor, as the truth will always be revealed eventually.

And now I know so I'm just gonna have to let you go
Once the truth is revealed, it's time to let go of harmful habits and behaviors.

And it took you to show me how
Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom or the intervention of others to realize the harmful effects of addiction.

That it takes two to bring each other down
Addiction can be a shared struggle, as the harmful actions of one person can bring down those around them.

You brought me down
Specifically addressing someone who has contributed to bringing the artist down through their addiction.

Day moves quick when you stick yourself sick
When one is caught up in addiction, time can seem to fly by during the period of indulgence and the subsequent crash.

For an hour you float then it's all back down
The temporary high of addiction is always followed by a crash, leading to a constant cycle of ups and downs.

You pass the others as your leaving town
Addiction can lead to isolation and the feeling of leaving others behind as you spiral further into self-destruction.

And it's a crooked affliction your mind gets spinning
Addiction can warp one's sense of reality, leading to confusion and mental distress.

And your spine gets twisted
One can become physically and mentally contorted due to the physical and emotional strain of addiction.

And everybody that you know is out to take everything you own
Addiction can cause paranoia and the idea that everyone is out to get you or take away what you have.

Each other
Reiterating the idea that addiction can be a shared struggle, leading to harm and destruction on both sides.

Night moves fast the shadows that you cast
As addiction takes hold, the darkness within oneself can spread like shadows cast at night.

Run away from you
Others may distance themselves from those who are consumed by addiction, leaving the afflicted alone to deal with their struggles.

And everyone that you touch turns blue
Addiction can cause harm to those around us, leaving them emotionally and physically drained and damaged.

And their all watching you
The harmful effects of addiction can be a source of shame and embarrassment, leading to a feeling of constant scrutiny from those around us.

And it's a wicked addiction, pure friction
Reiterating the main theme of the song - addiction is a destructive and all-consuming force.

And the truth about your lies is their all just fiction
Once again, emphasizing the idea that lies and deceit are ultimately futile when dealing with addiction and the need for honest self-reflection.

And now I know so I'm gonna have to let you go
The conclusion of the song, reaffirming the need to let go of harmful habits and behaviors and seek help when needed.

And it's a wicked addiction pure friction
A final reiteration of the destructive and harmful nature of addiction.

And the truth about your lies is their all just fiction
A final reminder that hiding from the truth is ultimately futile when dealing with addiction.
