Until This Dance Becomes Addiction

I have come down from my throne

Dressed in blood but I see gold

I left my crown in the cemetery

Buried the man I thought I should be

If it kills me, I must go

I know how dark it gets

Before I learn from my mistakes

Sever the hand that feeds

Addicted to war, addicted to blood

I know how all this ends

Crippled and bruised, I've sealed my fate

But I still lie, lie to myself

Until this dance becomes an addiction

Will you open up the golden gates for me?

Take me to the place the dead can breathe

What's it look like when you reach the

End of what we're all calling sanity?

I never saw myself as complacent

Told myself that there's no doubt I'd make it

Looking more and more like it's obsession

Digging up the past and hoping there's a lesson

You're wasting your time, growth comes at a price

Standing steady on the front line

I know how dark it gets

Before I learn from my mistakes

Sever the hand that feeds

Addicted to war, addicted to blood

I know how all this ends

Crippled and bruised, I've sealed my fate

But I still lie, lie to myself

Until this dance becomes an addiction

I have come down from my throne

Dressed in gold but I see blood

I see blood

I know how dark it gets

Before I learn from my mistakes

Sever the hand that feeds

Addicted to war, addicted to blood

I know how all this ends

Crippled and bruised, I've sealed my fate

But I still lie, lie to myself

Until this dance becomes

Until this dance becomes an addiction
