[demo]

I just can't believe how old we are now..The old folks home is gonna fucking rock

[jilloplo]

There will always be a place in my heart for three-piece pop-punk.

You hit me just like heroin
I feel you coursing through my veins
I once tried to kick this addiction
I swear I'll never kick again
Won't ever kick again, no
This addiction, can't seem to live without you
This addiction, no going clean
This addiction, I go through withdrawal without your
Sick with this addiction in me
Well those others were like methadone
I took to get me through the day
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Staying clean along the way
Hold out for the real thing, yeah
This addiction, can't seem to live without you
This addiction, now going clean
This addiction, I go through withdrawal without your
Sick with this addiction in me
This addiction
I go off the rails without your
Sick with this addiction in me

[JackNapiier]

I could see why they recruited him for blink, this song would fit perfectly in the American pie series also!

[ThorCarlton]

Every Alkaline Trio comment section is either Blink fans talking about how they never knew them before Matt joined Blink or Alkaline Trio fans being pompous about the fact that they listened to them before Matt joined Blink.

[LeGette]

this song hits home for me.. Im a recovering Opiate Addict.. 2 months clean.. this song has been the last 8 years of my life.. and im only 23.. to anyone looking at this message, thats in that boat.. hang in there.. its greener on the otherside.. people dont understand addiction, and i was one of them. 61 days clean.. and ive never felt better in my life, and never LOOKING BACK.. i will never put myself back to Day 1... I promised myself that.. and for the ones I hurt with my addiction -TOM

[blackhawkchalk]

Good job man, I'm going on my year now. I'm 25 and been an addict since 16. I hadn't had a single day of sobriety until I found someone worth quitting for....myself. Stay Strong because it just keeps getting easier.

[foomanjenkins]

Super underrated song in the alkaline catalog

[StreamStationAlpha]

I found out about Alkaline Trio right around Blinks first hiatus and they were just fantastic. To have Matt in the band is great it's like a dream super band melding together

[camferguson]

Alkaline trios just not the same without Tom

[aragornelessar]

I remmeber when this record came out, this was the first song on the album and my mind was blown, played this on every instrument i had i couldn't get enough of it.

[pjd]

You will always have my respect and admiration for the person you are @mattskiba. You've gotten me through very hard times with your music. Good luck with your future endeavors my friend. Blink won't be the same without you but just remember you kept them alive. If it wasn't for them, I would have never been able to know your band and the incredible musicians and artists that you, Dan, and Derek are.

[Freekkyyyy]

Alkaline & Blink are my 2 favourite bands and have been for over 8 or so years, anyone just discovering Alkaline trio listen to Goddammit, From Here to Infirmary and Remains, you won't he disappointed

[TobKadach]

So glad he joined blink or I would have never found out about this band

[PhilipDavies]

Beyond always relevant, this kills me every time I hear it. "Those other drugs like methadone", crumpled in a heap.

[dimlylitcandle]

I had no idea about this band or who Matt was before Blinks new album but danm I really like him! Wish people would stop being so harsh with him cause he's pretty bad ass

[kirkboo]

Never thought Matt being in Blink would bring Blink fans to Alkaline trio.... He must be a genius! For all you Blink fans coming over, browse the whole AL3 discography. Seriously each album has its message and quirks. Each one stands alone as a great album. You can find each album in full on Youtube.
