I can’t bring my self to tell them

Why I’m scared to meet you

I fear what they will say

Indeed I fear you to

You’re the beautiful addiction

Transcendence in a vase

I cannot bear to look at you

I can’t look them in the face

I have not the courage to try you

I have not the heart to begin

I fear that if I drown in you

Another soul you’ll win

You’re the beautiful addiction

You’re the bane in my existence

You’re my painful predilection

You’re the coward’s Providence

I fear your poison loathing

I fear the empty space

I fear the sounds of silence

Most of all I fear your taste

You’re the beautiful addiction

You live deep inside me

You’re a family’s affliction

And the sickness ends with me
