Jessie Dunks - The Addict Lyrics

This cape around my neck is choking me
A hero who can't even fly
An addict to my own
Heroism
Super powers couldn't get me this high
Mmmmm
Too busy chasing dragons in my dreams
And yes I know what that means
Mmmm
But alas I could not catch him
And I tried and cried all night
In the morning I was asked why my eyes were red
And when I'm strung out on my bed
Is when I know why he wouldn't die

Maybe I
I've gotta quit this drug
It's killing me
And I
I've gotta quit
I know it
It's killing me

This damsel in distress is choking me
Yet I breathe in her every breath
Mmmm
She's tall and skinny like a cigarette
And dizzies me with flattery
And replays every scene
Till her empty praises fill my head
And when I'm strung out on my bed
Is when I recognize her eyes

Maybe I
I've gotta quit this drug
It's killing me
And I
I've gotta quit
I know it
It's killing me
It's killing me

And when I'm trying to sober up
I realize I was stealing along
And it's killing
Oh it's killing me

I
I've gotta quit this drug
It's killing me
