Addicted

from Double Edged Sword by Ryan Garrett

/

about

The feeling you get when you literally crave someone's presence can be a scary feeling. In a world full of people and things that cannot be trusted to full potential, sometimes it's hard to admit that you might actually have an addiction. Especially when it's to someone who may not be that good for you.

lyrics

This highway's paved with eggshells
At the crossroad of our common ground
I've been walking in circles
But you'd be surprised at what I found
Cause this town is no place to hide for an introvert
But it could be worse
I'm not saying I'm in love
I'm just saying I wish the whole world worked the way we work

Cause you and I
We are addicted to everything
And if you don't believe me
Just try to take it away and see

I feel the embers raging from the overzealous bitter man
Threatening to gun down anything he doesn't understand
Some people these days will only try to win the race
To demean second place
It appears some are close behind
But it's you they're trying to chase
It's a disgrace

There's people pushing me to my limits
They're shoving all the way to the edge
There's people setting ridiculous expectations
And I've got wars waged inside my head
There's people telling me I'll surely fail
They've all trapped me here in this cell
There's people shoving ideas down my throat
There's folks that only speak to tell me no
There's corruption and fatigue
Depression and anxiety
There's people out there telling me I won't amount to anything
There's people always damning me for my point of view
Constantly telling me what to do
And then there's you...

This highway's paved with eggshells
At the crossroad of our common ground
I've been walking in circles
But you'd be surprised at what I found
A little more choice, a little less decision
A little more spirit, a little less religion
You don't know you need something until it scares you to death
And you leave me out of breath
Cause you and I...
