Addicted to the Flame

You taste like truth I shouldn't know
A quiet storm beneath my bones
I say I'm done, I say I've grown
Then I breathe you in like smoke

You're the calm before my fall
The reason and the sin
Every time I lose control
You're where it begins

I'm addicted to the flame
And I know it's burning me down
Still I whisper your name
Like it's some kind of vow
We both know how this ends
But I can't turn away now
I'm addicted
Addicted to the flame

Your skin's a map I can't unlearn
I follow scars that never turn
You say it's love, I say it's pain
But we're dancing in the same rain

We are the spark and the wound
The pleasure and the proof
If love is losing slowly
Then I'll lose it all to you

I'm addicted to the flame
It's all I know how to feel
Even when it's killing me
It still feels real
So let it burn, let it stay
I'll come back anyway
