Strange Addition

Don’t ask questions you don’t wanna know

I learned my lesson too many nights ago

To be talkin’ to you, belladonna

Shoulda vanished like a ghost in summer

I take what I want when I wanna

But I want peace, not the trauma

Bad, bad news

You’re the hunter, I refuse

But I still play the fuse—

Just add friction…

You are my strange addiction

Twisted love in a world of fiction

My doctors can’t explain

Why fear and thrill feel the same

You are my strange affliction

And I’m your pretty distraction

They tell me to hide my flame

But you’ll just burn it all the same

They always try to take what’s not theirs

“Smile, baby”—you wouldn’t dare

What a nightmare to walk these streets

With keys clenched tight, and no retreat

Told me to cover my shoulders up

But maybe he should man the fuck up

I’m not your lesson, I’m not your sin

I am not yours to begin with

Bite my glass, set myself on fire

Can’t you tell I’m wired?

I’m tired of being admired

And blamed for the mess you made

I won’t be ashamed

You are my strange addiction

Wrote my name in contradiction

My pain, my power, all the same

A woman’s worth ain’t yours to claim

I’m not your pretty distraction

I’m not your chain reaction

You broke yourself, don’t come for me

You’ll never own what you can’t see

You call me trouble

You call me flame

But every spark you steal

Will light my name

And when you see me stand, unshaken still—

You’ll know I never bent to your will

He said, “She’s just what I need tonight”

If I make her as insecure as I

But I won’t play prey, I don’t flinch or flee

My body ain’t yours—it belongs to me

This world tells girls to stay polite

While wolves get praised for every bite

But I’m not prey—I’m the firelight

You’ll see me clearly when I ignite

You were my strange addiction

But I’m done with contradictions

My scars are songs, my pain is steel

I’m not your thrill, I’m what is real

No more pretty distraction

I’m not your satisfaction

I’m not your fix, I’m not your game

I’m a woman, wild and untamed

Did you like it?

Which part?

The burn… or the art?
