Addiction



Ever had an addiction?
Then you know what it feels like
When your palms start itching
And your minds on overdrive
But you have to fight
Fight it off

I have addiction
It's a strange addiction it really is
My palms start itching
And my mind goes crazy

I know how I can satisfy it
I do
I crave to cut
I crave the sensation

You might think I'm crazy
You might think I'm weird
But it's my addiction you see

If you've ever had an addiction
You know how I feel
When your palms start itching
And your mind goes crazy

But you have to fight it off

Fight it off
Fight it off
