Addicted to Pain

Through the looking glass of fame We'll never know what could've been Cravings pulled you deep within Thrown into the hit machine Feed the beast, start the routine You gave it all just to chase this flame The dotted line, a puppet in the game now Twisted and cheating The fame we chase is bleating Turned against brother for acclaim that is fleeting Over and over the cycle won't end The melody weeping its funeral hymn And over and over Addicted to pain Through (Through) the looking glass of fame I look around at what I have Clawed and clutched what I could grab Normalcy, it fades away Bending backward to obey Build us up, sacrifice it all Tear it apart, the inevitable downfall You want to see this, broken and defeated A childhood dream now fed to the machine Over and over the cycle won't end The melody weeping its funeral hymn And over and over Addicted to pain Through (Through) the looking glass of fame Lines off of broken mirrors Reflecting craven fears A clown to entertain A jester for their gain Loathe you I hate you Despise you You think you made me? I'll crush you I'll break you Erase you You're fucking dead to me Loathe you I hate you Despise you You think you made me? I'll crush you I'll break you Erase you You're fucking dead to me Loathe you I hate you Despise you You think you made me? I'll crush you I'll break you Erase you You're fucking dead to me Over and over the cycle won't end The melody weeping its funeral hymn And over and over Addicted to pain Through (Through) the looking glass of fame Lines off of broken mirrors Reflecting craven fears A clown to entertain A jester for their gain
