addiction's anthem

it starts with a kiss
only one simple kiss
my mistress, Addiction
Addiction is bliss

she undresses me softly
caresses the lips
bites down with her teeth
my Addiction is bliss

promise you love me
and you'll stay by my side
take my hand and lead the way
i'll love you till i die

Bulimia, my beautiful
cleanse me with your kiss
slide your tongue deep down my throat
remove my ugly sin

and Heroin, my lovely friend
fill my veins with your warmth
it's cold and so lonely
mirror, mirror please show me
when the sun will rise with healing
in its wings

promise you love me
and you'll stay by my side
take my hand and lead the way
i'll love you till i die

promise you'll stay here
you'll never leave my side
i'll love you forever
till the day you take my life
the neverland messiah

i've heard tales of a warrior
who comes from afar
who turns water into wine

i've heard rumors that he leads
armies of angels
into war to fight

with the wings of an eagle
and a sword in his mouth
he's conquered the dragons
and defeated the proud

he's knocking
on doors of gingerbread houses
and strengthening
homes built out of straw

i've heard stories of demons
cast out in his name
and the blind restored their sight

some say he's a wizard
some say he's a king
of a far away land made of
clouds and candy

he's knocking
on doors of gingerbread houses
and strengthening
homes built out of straw
liquor dance

verse1:
a car pulls up in the driveway
he made it home again tonight
he struggles to find the right key
opens the door and stumbles inside

he reaches his arms out towards me
as i run to his loving embrace
he picks me up and twirls me
sings me songs and kisses my face

chorus:
when daddy dances
mommy cries
when he tucks me in
i shut my eyes
wishing the pain away
dreaming of better days
wishing the pain away

verse2:
another car pulls in the driveway
sirens blaring, lights are flashing
he struggles to hold back the tears
as he stumbles into the back seat

chorus (maybe 2 times)

bridge:
there's a princess behind those bruises
and there's a father who loves her
that has lost his way

chorus
