Addict (Original Version)

[Intro] Are you afraid of an addict? Are you afraid of an addict? [Verse 1] Head peeking out, in a panic, they're all watching me The heavy side of the brain, the way it's crushing me My veins collapsing, so I feel somebody touching me On nights alone, it gets too hard to be, so hard to breathe [Interlude] Are you afraid of an addict? 'Cause I'm afraid of an addict [Verse 2] Dolls never cry, so should I try and tell myself a lie? Realities I can't cope, I'm stroking hair Ripping photos off, unbutton off my shirt Know I couldn’t swallow more Chasing death, tried to go [Pre-Chorus] I want to hide, I can't relate And I know that I can't escape I'm strong, but no lie, I panic 'Cause I'm afraid of an addict [Chorus] I'm putting on a smile again I'm chasing all my highs again And you know that I play pretend I know that I can see the end I'm putting on a smile again I'm chasing all my highs again And you know that I play pretend (Ahh) [Verse 3] They've all moved out and I'm disgusted in a bed for two But how the hell am I supposed to numb the thoughts of you? Of everything I think, of all the ache I tend I'm so embarrassed, everyone thinks that I'm perfectly [Bridge] Give it to me Flashing through me Sick of it, but try again The blood is rushing to my head Pull me straight onto the ground Don't think that you can catch me now [Chorus] I'm putting on a smile again I'm chasing all my highs again And you know that I play pretend I know that I can see the end I'm putting on a smile again I'm chasing all my highs again And you know that I play pretend (Ahh)
