Leave me here to rot
Far too fucking weak to put up a fight
The white line precedes a future black as night
Give me your attention
Divide me as you please
The first one is a rush and the second is a need
The calming of the trees is simply not enough
Cut me and consume
I control you more with every bump
I am not your enemy
I am everything you crave
I am your master
And you are my fucking slave
Scum of the earth
Return to the dirt
Don't try to disregard me
I'll only make you hurt
Leave me here to rot
Far too fucking weak to put up a fight
The white line precedes a future black as night
Self-control will disappear
You are nothing without me
Independence is a dream beyond reach
You are nothing without me
It's not enough
I no longer numb the pain
You must instill me
So put me in your dying veins
I will devour you
You knew this day would come
How's this for euphoria?
Perpetually numb
You can blame me for your compulsion
You can blame me for your assault
You can blame me for your consumption
But the mirror stares back at the face of fault
You can blame me for your delusion
You can blame me for your affliction
You can blame me for the illusion
That I'm the reason for your addiction.
