GRIP lyrics

You’ve got a grip on me like a jealous girlfriend
You’ve got a hold of me that’ll last til the end
You’ve got me wanting you always more and more and more
You’ve got the whole of me down to the core

You’ve got a hold of me that is making me sick
And I try to let go but it ain’t easy to kick
You’ve got a grip on me and I just can’t escape
I’m locked away in another land somewhere deep in the shade

Chorus…
And you can’t give me what I need anymore
And nothing feels the way it did before
I’ve got a mouth to feed and so much more
I’ve got that constant need to score
I shine a light blow the smoke into the moonlit night I walk
And talk about my love for the sun and how it reminds me of my mom
Youth is further away now than hell to burn
I’m coming closer to the point of no return

Chorus…
And you can’t give me what I need anymore
And nothing feels the way it did before
I’ve got a mouth to feed and so much more
I’ve got that constant need to score

I’m getting harder I’m turning to steel
The life I’ve been living has lost its feel
I’m getting harder I’m turning to stone
The time of promises is long gone

Chorus…
And you can’t give me what I need anymore
And nothing feels the way it did before
I’ve got a mouth to feed and so much more
I’ve got that constant need to score

I have an addiction like you have a religion
That will follow me til the end my friend
The time of promises is long gone, yea
The time of promises is long gone
