The Cure & The Poison - Clawfinger

It’s the payoff the reward

The release from all the tension

The biggest vice in my life and it adds a new dimension

It’s the beauty and the beast

It’s my fall and it’s my saviour

A good excuse for self abuse that changes my behaviour

I love it and I loath it with a passion that’s superior

It fucks with my emotions and it makes me feel inferior

It breaks me down and then builds up a wonderful illusion

That brings out my emotions and adds to the confusion

It’s not a problem I can do just fine without it

But I wouldn’t chance it that’s the fucked up thing about it

It pulls me in and spits me out without a second warning

It puts me right out in the cold

While it’s busy warming

It’s a hopeless competition and there’s no way I can win it

But I never tend to see the signs while I’m stuck right in it

I play the game and lose the game

There’s no way to avoid it

'cos I’m too busy fucking up pretending I’ve enjoyed it

The cure and the poison

The loss and the gain

Escaping once again

The cause and solution

The pleasure and pain

All run through my veins

All I need is just one more I promise I’ll be fine

It’s really just a harmless way for me to kill some time

I’ll sit back and lose my track and work hard on a case

It helps me blur out all the sharpest edges in this place

It always gets the best of me while being etnertaining

But in the end there’s not a single ounce of sense remaining

I scrape myself up off the floor and mend the broken pieces

And do it all again — the vicious cycle never ceases

The cure and the poison

The loss and the gain

Escaping once again

The cause and solution

The pleasure and pain

All run through my veins
