An Addict's Lover Lyrics - Singles - Soilent Green

Her mother used to hit her 

To an uncontrolled consumption 

Of an absolute solution 

Experience with drug abuse 

Taking this drug of peace 

Slowly taking its toll 

Never question, love through addiction 

Collecting this emptiness 

Recollect a calm self centered guess 

Every broken promise 

To bleed the soul free 

Faith is not the answer 

A promise that must end 

Left her standing to face her own way 

Face to face 

Thought you could 

Never thought you would 

Fall this steep 

Overdose intentional 

5 or 6 times 

For reasons being to die 

Broken out fight 

Unable to focus 

Late night on knees 

Scraping scarred brush burns 

A lethal move for ecstasy 

Lying curled up in the corner of the bathroom 

Hung over from the night before 

A wrong signal for an intertwined love affair 

Putting yourself in a disaster over a childish dare 

Eyes opening to a smooth trail of blood on the floor 

Leading to the trash can next to the door 

You wanted to be intimate, he wanted to fuck 

Skill of prostitution down the drain for one more dose 

Indulge in the innocence of each other's addiction 

Sitting next to your mate doing drug time 

Vintage lust for a lost modern age
