If your needle is near...
[Verse 1]
(If your needle is near) baby can we please just get the hell right out of here?
Take me where every nerve ending is numb
Overcome by the calm
Loosen the teeth biting down the tourniquet around my arm
Just make it stop
(If your needle is near, you can take my blood, oh I saved it for you, hundreds of drops, running red)
Puncturing the skin, time and time again
Scab ripping
Wound infected with your presence
Quitting after the next
Hard to part my autopilot gliding through the lilac nimbus dusk
Even just a second forgetting she existed is enough
I’m giving up
Leaving marks tracking the inflow to the outflow down my arm
When I play connect the dots with a razor in the bath
Tracing where I’m headed
Bleeding out alone and watch it drip
It’s my morphine stop me reaching for the phone
I can’t resist
Running red, down and not across the wrist
I need a permanent solution to keep you out of my head
Inhale the autumn air
Robbed the breath out from my chest
Was not prepared to see you happier with him
Got nothing left
At least the pain is gonna end
Right?
