Flame of Addiction Lyrics

The ghosts from my past

Keep on texting me

Sweet siren clarion calls

Dimly lit alleyways

Where I wandered lost

Chasing the shadows alone

My heart a furnace stoked by vices

Burning brighter

With each forbidden sip

It was a reckless dance with fate

A desperate grip had hold of me

Chasing shadows dancing with my demons

The flame of addiction

It consumed my battered soul

But then I glimpsed a different fire

Not in the bottom of a glass

Or rolled-up bills

A gleaming sleek machine

A promise of thrills

My key held the wild beast in check

Like an open vein

The road stretches out

Into a distant shimmer

Shifting through the gears

Pure joy

The dashboard became my confessional

Where my past sins were laid bare

Leaving shadows behind

As I made amends

I'm free with the wind in my hair

The flame of addiction extinguished

In the rearview mirror old memories dissolve

Now I slice through the fog

I'm Free at Last

Brand new again

Just the purr of the engine

Sets my racing mind at ease

Cruising down the road

All my insanity cleansed

From my brain
