Lyrics

Affliction

[Verse]

There was no one before him

And there's no one since

Peppermint and tobacco

I could live in it

[Refrain]

(Ah-ha-ah-ha-ah-ah-ah-ha)

You don't even know my name

What's your name?

(Ah-ha-ah-ha-ah-ah-ah-ha)

Tell me, baby, what's your game?

[Pre-Chorus]

I'll find my way, I'll follow

I'll find my way

[Chorus]

It's an affliction of the mind

I've got a heart that keeps me up at night

It's a fixation, sealed and signed

Inside the brutal hold

That keeps me up at night
