My Old Addiction Lyrics

My old addiction Changed the wiring in my brain So that when it turns the switches Then I am not the same
So like the flowers towards the sun I will follow Stretch myself out thin There's a part of me that's already buried Sends me out into this wind
My old addiction Is a flood upon the land This tiny lifeboat can keep me dry But my weight is all that it can stand
So when I try to lean just a little Just a splash to cool my face Ahh that trickle turns out fickle Fills my boat up five miles deep
My old addiction Makes me crave only what is best Like these, just this morning song birds Craving upward from the nest
These tiny birds outside my window Take my hand to be their Mom These open mouths would trust and swallow Anything that comes along
Like my old addiction Now the other side of day Spring time of my life's time Turns the other way
If a swan can have a song I think I know that tune But the page is only scrawled and I am gone this afternoon Page is only scrawled and I am gone this afternoon
