I'm a darkness, comes in any size

You can't hide me, they can see it in your eyes

Sinner or saint, I'll leave you tellin' lies

But I'll be with you 'til the day you die.

Hidin' in the shadows down the street

Just waitin' for the chance for us to meet

Once I have you I won't let you go

Jesus can have your heart but I'll take your soul.

Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...

Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...

You can try to put me down but again you'll fail

This ain't my first rodeo, gonna put you through hell

As you lie in bed with the sweats and the shakes

I'll be waitin' over here when your fever breaks.

Make you steal from your mom, make you steal from your dad

I'll make you sell everything that you have

Forget about your kids, forget about your wife

'cause I'm the only thing that you need in life.

Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...

Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...

Well, I didn't come to you, you came to me

So I'm not the one to blame, you see

Talk about all the things you changed

When the mornin' comes one thing remains the same.

You can hear the voices callin' down the hall

Ain't nobody there 'cause you've lost it all

Come next week, you'll be livin' in the street

Don't worry, brother, I got all you need.

Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...

Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...

Well, I come in many forms, whiskey and pills

Cocaine, meth, whatever spins your wheels

I've been bought and I've been sold

But when I'm in your system, I take control.

My name's addiction, it's a powerful name

If you don't believe me, come and play my game

I've took the best and watched 'em go insane

Or just kicked back and watched them go up in flames.

Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...

Ooh, ooh-ohh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...

I'm a darkness, comes in any size

You can't hide me, they can see it in your eyes

Sinner or saint, I'll leave you tellin' lies

But I'll be with you 'til the day you die.
