about

This is the first song that I wrote in this series. It started out as a letter to my former addicted self and morphed into a direct address to the disease of addiction.

lyrics

(Written by John Dillon, ©2021 MotherDitch Music BMI)

Past the point of turning back
Shades of blue fade to black
Once was all fun and games 
Now a war, and I know your name:

Addiction, addiction
Blind conviction
To a lesser god
Addiction, addiction
You want me down
Six feet beneath the ground

Consumed by need to fill the void           

Searching streets I should avoid 

To satisfy this lust inside

I gladly take the devil’s ride

Addiction, addiction
Blind conviction
To a lesser god
Addiction, addiction
You want me down
Six feet beneath the ground

There's comfort in the dark of night 
Excitement in the chase
Morning on the bathroom floor
I swear to God, I’ll change my ways

But then it all begins again
Your siren song draws me in

Before too long I take that sip
Fall back in your icy grip

Addiction, addiction
Blind conviction
To a lesser god
Addiction, addiction
You want me down
Six feet beneath the ground
