Ive Lies "Addicted"

Yay! Another wierd look at music lyrics.
Now it's Ive Lies's 'Addicted' song.

Now, because these girls are a primarily New Zealand band, I don't want to rag on them too much. I mean, New Zealand is barely a speck on the bottom of the world - we're so insignificant that global superpowers probably wouldn't even consider invading us.

What do we have to give? Seriously?

Anyway.
(Thanks to the youtuber who provided the lyrics in the video description, and unfortunately they lack a certain amount of punctuation or grammar.)

Did you think that i was really with him when i was holding your hand (Well, when you send me tapes of the two of you having sex...)
Well you we're right! I couldn't get him off my mind (Huh. Pulls no punches, this song.)

Your my shadow, he's my phantom ('Me and my shadow...')
I can feel him feel him breathing down my back (Your whole back? That's a long way to breath.)
a low voice sings "ill make your heart go blind" (...wait, what?)

Im addicted (To what?)
I feel sick but I'm not giving you up (Feeling a little under the weather is no reason to give me up.)
You're a drug to me but i, i need my fix (Well, alright-)
I need my fix! (Ok! Jesus.)

Im addicted (You said that already.)
you're heart poison that I'm strung out on (...What?)
your dangerous but i, i need my fix i need my fix (It's possible that these lyrics aren't entirely accurate,)
oh woah oh (But, unfortunately, I don't think that's the case.)

I'm alone now I'm a junkie coming down hurts more than farewell (These lyrics AREN'T accurate, the bastard missed half the words in here.)
i don't want this but i need this I NEED THIS (No wonder the song sounds like it was written by George Bush.)
I need some time to satisfy my craving like that one last cigarette (Did you know that human being and fish can coexist peacefully?)
Your no illusion no ghost I've learned that now (He does.)

listen to the screams (This is sort of the slow singing,)
my vivid dreams (Where all the rock drowns out,)
there's no relief (And all your left with is a slightly out of place section of song.)

watching me asleep (Oh-kay...)
revealing deep (Why do I keep hearing Twilight overtones during this part?)
he's solved the mystery (Oh yeah! They sound a lot like Paramore. That's why.)

Im addicted (No surprises there.)
I feel sick but I'm not giving you up (Ah, the repeated chorus.)
You're a drug to me but i, i need my fix (Where would we be without you?)
I need my fix!

Im addicted (In case you haven't gotten on,)
its you're heart poison that I'm strung out on (Addiction is the theme of the song.)
your dangerous but i, i need my fix i need my fix (As is sounding as much like Paramore too, aparently.)
oh woah oh
oh woah oh
oh woah oh

So that's Ivy Lies 'Addicted'.
