As you take more of it,
the more it takes your life.
Just watch it fall all apart,
consumed by it's pain and strife.
It asks you to come and play,
to be part in it's wicked game.
The addiction that never ends,
it's calling out your name.
Can't you see it's taking you,
don't you see it's taking you...
Piece by piece,
breath by breath.
Life by life,
death by death.
Can't ever seem to get enough,
taking you for all it's worth.
It's going to catch up to you,
the addictions of the earth.
Will you be the next one to go,
stop this madness as soon as you can.
Surrender it all,
before death you fall,
let it know you're your own man.
