drip drip

the needles call

I hear their whispers

just down the hall

drip drip

close my eyes

you dont need them

what lies what lies

drip drip

they arent there

dont show you care

thunder strikes

within my chest

pressure pressure

ive lost my breath

my hands they clammer

my muscles shake

sweat drip drips

Im about to break

this habit of mine

I need a fix

the sting of a needle

with a chemical mix

and drip drip

the needles go

plunging deep

into skin of snow

so cold so cold

but Im happy now

down the hall

only a soft meow

they call no longer

I need no more

a chemical concoction

to my hearts core

my eyelids flicker

my soul it flies

you dont need them

what lies what lies
