I picked a fight with the Devil,
he was in a clever disguise:
all the charm of Dr. Jekyll
to distract from Mr. Hyde.
I was young of course,
but never naive.
And I knew this was the man of sorts
to bring me to my knees.

I think I kind of like it-
no,
I know I really do.
Looks like you're my only shot
at a bite of something new.
What's it gonna take?
How far do I have to fall
in order to be your slave
and meet your wrecking ball?

There's a million ways,
wicked ways,
you could prove yourself to me.
This villainous craze,
a venomous blaze
urges my instincts to flee.
But even if I leave,
I'll always return.
This is as close to the heat as I can get
without getting burned.

Curiosity brought me to my breaking point,
but the obsession will never let me go.
Every desperate binge leaves my body destroyed,
it's time to give it up- I know.
