I’m the habit

Intro (Addiction speaking)

You don’t remember when we met.

But I remember you.

Pain opened the door…

I just walked in.

I don’t force anyone.

I whisper.

And eventually…

everyone listens.

Hook

I’m the whisper in the dark when the world gets loud

Little calm in the chaos like a personal cloud

I say “trust me, I’ll fix what the pain can’t mend”

But I’m digging your grave while I call you my friend

I don’t chase you down, you invite me within

I’m the devil in disguise living under your skin

You call me relief, call me peace, call me sin

But the truth is simple…

I’m the habit that wins.

Verse 1 – The Seduction

I found you broken where the night felt long

Where the war in your head kept playing its song

Where the doctors gave pills but the silence stayed loud

And the world felt distant like a ghost in a crowd

So I showed up gentle like a hand in the rain

Said “take just a little, I can quiet the pain”

Turned the volume down on the chaos you knew

Made the darkness feel softer every time that you used

You called it relief, called it breathing again

Didn’t notice the leash slowly tightening in

See I never rush in, I just patiently wait

Plant comfort first… then I cultivate fate

Verse 2 – The Control

Soon you needed me just to feel okay

Morning to night I was leading the way

Friends started fading, family cried

But I stayed loyal when the hope inside died

Bills on the table, ghosts in your glass

Promises broken like shards in the past

Every time you swore you were done with the game

I’d whisper your name like a spark to a flame

You thought you were choosing, that’s the sweetest lie

Every king I meet eventually complies

See I don’t wear chains but I build them slow

Till the man you were is someone you don’t know

Verse 3 – The Destruction

I’ve taken brothers, daughters, fathers, sons

Watched the sirens scream when the breathing stops

Seen mothers collapse when the phone line rings

Seen silence hit harder than a thousand screams

I don’t care about dreams, I devour them whole

Trade every heartbeat for a moment of control

But sometimes… something ruins my game

A spark in the dark that won’t bow to my name

When the
