Addict
VIAL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every morning, every night
If I don't, I won't get through it
'Cause these days pass slowly by
And I realize that it's a problem but I don't think twice
Take me to a shrink I need professional advice
Thinking 'bout the next I will get the chance to take a hit
And I realize that it's a problem but I cannot stop
Everywhere I turn I'm paranoid I'll see a cop
Save me from this addiction, I can't get out if I can't reach you, oh
Somebody pull me up by the wrists and dust me off, I need to go
Been living through this haze for three whole years and slowly counting to four
Don't know how I will make it, but I know that I just can't take it no more
Every day feels like the same shit over and over again
And it's hard to break that cycle when it feels like it won't end
And I realize that it's a problem and I might need help
Why does it feel like my whole life has been spent in hell?
Save me from this addiction, I can't get out if I can't reach you, oh
Somebody pull me up by the wrists and dust me off, I need to go
Been living through this haze for three whole years and slowly counting to four
Don't know how I will make it, but I know that I just can't take it no more
Just can't take it no more
Just can't take it no more
