Lyrics

One brief recollection of all the
People in my life that have
Come and gone
One brief fleeting moment of
People I've loved and people that
I have wronged
Long lost are loved ones gone
But this bird cannot seem to
Mend it's broken wings so the
Lust for life dissipated and
A new greed rises for the
Needful things

Don't wanna think about it
I indulge myself
Distraction eases pain, bury my
Emotions to protect myself
Till I can't feel a fucking thing
I've dared to dream I've tried to live
But I've played it safe instead
Just another slave to my vices now
Bring out your dead

Voices wither and crack then die
Ringin' in my ear would sing me
Soft asleep
Death silence now is all I hear
Has inspiration finally eluded me

Don't wanna think about it
I indulge myself
Distraction eases pain, bury my
Emotions to protect myself
Till I can't feel a fucking thing
I've dared to dream I've tried to live
But I've played it safe instead
Just another slave to my vices now

**My addiction, my illness, my only
Trusted friend
My addiction my illness my only
Childhood fiend
Your twisted warm embrace
Engulfing all I tried to be
My body's breaking under
Arms that will not set me free
**Repeat**

Locked in this cage that I've
Built myself
Constructed out of twisted cold
Reminders of a life once lost
But I've found my way again
Here among the wreckage and the vampires
I'll play it safe again, just a slave to my vices now
My addiction my illness my only
Childhood fiend
My illness
