They see me chasing something in the night,
Eyes locked, burning with a quiet fight.
They whisper “he’s hooked, he can’t resist”,
But they don’t know what my craving is!
Hands shaking like I need that fix,
Heartbeat racing, yeah it’s intense!
They think I’m lost in a dangerous lane,
But I’m just trying to ignite this flame!
(Pre-chorus)
Everybody thinks I lost control.
Saying “that stuff’s gonna take your soul”.
Yeah I’m guilty, I admit,
But not for what they think I hit!
Late nights, pacing, no sleep at all,
Voices saying I might just fall.
They say “one hit and he’ll be gone”,
But I’ve been building this all along!
Pressure rising, yeah I feel that pull.
They swear this hunger will take its toll.
But what I’m chasing won’t break my soul,
It’s something bigger, it’s my life time goal!
(Pre-chorus)
They say I’m gone, I’m in too deep
Chasing something I can’t keep
One more hit, I swear I’m fine
That’s what I tell myself each time
Now the lights flash and the crowd all sings,
This is the high that my hard work brings!
They thought I meant something slipping away,
But it’s a hit song I was chasing all day!
(Bridge)
They said “son, we think you’ve gone too far”!
“Whatever it is, it’s who you are”.
I said “relax, I’m chasing a sound”.
They looked confused like I’m breaking down.
No needles here, no smoke, no line,
Just beats and hooks stuck in my mind.
Yeah I’m addicted, I won’t lie,
But blame it on the chorus that's getting me high!
(Chorus)
Everybody thinks I lost control.
Saying “that stuff’s gonna take your soul”.
Yeah I’m guilty, I admit,
But not for what they think I hit!
Yeah I’m hooked on a melody.
Got that rhythm taking over me.
They call it wrong, I call it art,
Just one more hit to top the chart!
