Kick The Habit

My lips like wicks are burning
Guess now I can't unlearn it
This tribal fire like an empire of tables turning
I'm breathing in my question
Exhaling my direction
You say you like my discretion
But you love the little cracks in my display
The way your finger lingers in my brain
All the wayward teeth you meet that love to eat
This tragic magic in my brain

I should know by now when I'm kicking the habit
The habit kicks back
I should know by now when I'm kicking the habit
The habit kicks back

Rip this sound out of the static
Dramatically emphatic
Was hiding skeletons in closets now I'm filling attics
Somehow you're still here living
Off of my indecision
This mis-addiction is mixing fiction
With simple little facts that you reframe
The way you make the savage seem so tame
All the complicated things that breach my dreams
And make my price and vice the same

I should know by now when I'm kicking the habit
The habit kicks back
I should know by now when I'm kicking the habit
The habit kicks back

I should know by now when I'm kicking the habit
The habit kicks back

I should know by now
I should know by now when I'm kicking the habit
The habit kicks back
I should know by now when I'm kicking the habit
The habit kicks back
