Ecstasy

As i walk through the cold, damp night
many mixed emotions
many confusing thoughts
do i walk or run?
stay still or hide?

I do, I do
i want to see you
i want to have you
but to me you are the demon
who wants to change my life
bring me up and bring me down

We come face-to-face
with my blood rushing through my veins
i feel your power... your greatness...
your additive pull...
i need to get more of you
this isnt enough
you have the effect
of a straight glass of water

In my body, through my heart
in my blood, killing me
you are the drug
you have the power
you bring me life
you are my killer

I must stop before
this insanity stays forever
you are my insanity
without you I am free.
