'Addiction' by picklewalsh

This is a song i wrote not long ago. It is the first lyrics of this type i have wrote (i normally make more songs along the lines of Nine Inch Nails), so obviously it isn't going to be great. It is more of a catharsis then a refined lyric, but hey i needed to do it. I am currently in the process of recording this for my new EP, hence the copyright at the bottom . Any comments or tips for future work of this type would be great.

'Addiction'

I cant help the way I feel for you,
I feel more with every breath I take,
This is like a true addiction,
You leave me with more mistakes to make.
We match in almost every way,
So I wait patiently for you to warm to me,
‘Come on release yourself ’ I say,
Two souls intertwined in this, one meant to be.

It was such a toxic pill to swallow,
To learn that it was all a lie,
But you helped me through this time,
Helped fill the void, made me less hollow.
You voice is like a drug to me,
I’m falling more with each step I take
Contemplating my existence, my outer persona...
Its just a facade I make

Come close, let me tell you something….

I know realise it was there all along, buried deep within me,
No longer able to deny all of this,
What am I going to do when it goes dark and your not there with me.
Such a heavy burden now to feel like this.
Reflection on this situation will be the true price we pay,
So I will hold tight when it starts to slip,
For with you is were I belong, holding, breathing in your life.
Ignore the ‘higher’ ones, complicated hypocrites.

It was such a toxic pill to swallow,
To learn that it was all a lie,
But you helped me through this time,
Helped fill the void, made me less hollow.
You voice is like a drug to me,
I’m falling more with each step I take
Contemplating my existence, my outer persona...
Its just a facade I make

Come close, you need to hear this….

But these feelings that run so deep, aren’t the same for you,
You rationalise every move that you make,
Perception will repair what has been broke for as long as you remember,
So i will stand back and leave it to fate.
A spark becomes a flame, a flame becomes a fire,
But cool is were we will begin
Your fire will light the dark, fuelled by my desire…
To be the one, pushed by the voice within.

It was such a toxic pill to swallow,
To learn that it was all a lie,
But you helped me through this time,
Helped fill the void, made me less hollow.
You voice is like a drug to me,
I’m falling more with each step I take
Contemplating my existence, my outer persona...
Its just a facade I make

Come close, now you know….

Nice lyrics there Pickle......and you say the the music is similar to Firestarter.....LOL

Thank you both, im glad you liked it.

The music for this one will be very much like 'safe from harm' by massive attack. kinda chilled out but with a hell of a bass lead. Ill see about podcasting it when its done
