As the fragments of his future fall away
As he staggers from a world he’ll never see
He is burdened by regret
But the broken cigarette
Brings the comfort of addiction’s crooked key
Cold addiction
It follows like a friend
Cold addiction
Temptation without end
Though the twist of it can open many locks
It inevitably leaves a bitter taste
All the drugs he ever tried
Dug a hole too huge to hide
At the centre of the certainty he chased
Cold addiction
It follows like a friend
Cold addiction
Temptation without end
He has one more smoke, but somehow there’s a catch
He remembers that he doesn’t have a match
Cold addiction
It follows like a friend
Cold addiction
Temptation without end
There are powders in his pockets, but he knows
There is nothing they can do to bring him back
When he throws their pain away
Bruised and broken by the day
His addiction drives a merciless attack
Cold addiction
It follows like a friend
Cold addiction
Temptation without end
When he tries to step outside, to break the chains
In his misery the suffering remains
Cold addiction
It follows like a friend
Cold addiction
Temptation without end
Cold addiction
Leaves a mark he cannot mend
