Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the shadows, I lurk and hide
A silent killer, I slowly reside
In the hearts of the innocent, I take my place
Leaving destruction, a trail of pain and space

[VERSE 1]
I destroy homes and tear families apart
I'll take your children and that's just the start
More costly than diamonds, more costly than gold
The sorrow I'll bring is a sight to behold

[CHORUS]
I'm the devil's candy, a poison so sweet
I'll take control, and your life will retreat
I'm the one they fear, I'm the one they can't define
I'm heroin, the addiction that's always on their mind

[VERSE 2]
If you need me, remember I'm easily found
I live all around, in your schools, in your town
I live with the rich, I live with the poor
I live down the street and maybe next door

[CHORUS]
I'm the devil's candy, a poison so sweet
I'll take control, and your life will retreat
I'm the one they fear, I'm the one they can't define
I'm heroin, the addiction that's always on their mind

[BRIDGE]
You'll see the damage, but you won't care
As I take everything, leaving nothing to share
Your loved ones will weep, but you won't feel a thing
As I'm the one who's got your heart, and I'm the one who brings

[VERSE 3]
Try me once, and I might let you go
Try me twice, and I'll own your soul
When I possess you, you'll steal and lie
And do what you must, just to get high

[CHORUS]
I'm the devil's candy, a poison so sweet
I'll take control, and your life will retreat
I'm the one they fear, I'm the one they can't define
I'm heroin, the addiction that's always on their mind

[HOOK]
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways
I'll take kids from their parents, and parents from kids
I'll turn people from God, heaven forbid
I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride

[OUTRO]
So beware, don't take the first step
Or you'll be mine, and you'll never be free again
I'll be waiting, patiently in the night
Ready to take control, and make everything alright
