The pounding in my head just won't go away
It's like I find myself doing this every single day
Headaches, bad shakes, endless body quakes
How long to sedate? How much is it gonna take?

Today I picked up the needle and injected it deep
I didn't think about consequences, let the medicine seep
Into my veins, my blood, irreversible action
Searching hopelessly for a moment of satisfaction
And really just a distraction, my eyes get real wide
As my heart starts to race I feel as though I have died
But still standing, too much planning going into the void
The abyss not enjoyed, so many hopes destroyed
As the regrets flow faster than my heart can pump
I feel the panic and the urge to start to jump
To work it out, run around, get this out of my head
And if I can't stop the pressure then I'd be better of dead
Instead of thinking so much, maybe I could just take it easy
I've tried to put down the needle so many times, you've gotta believe me
Should try to find a new hobby, talk about a new topic
But I always find my way back and I just can't seem to stop it

The pounding in my head just won't go away
It's like I find myself doing this every single day
Headaches, bad shakes, endless body quakes
How long to sedate? How much is it gonna take?

It just comes naturally to me I see you're having your doubts
You want to trap me in a room; you want to scream and shout
Like I didn't know, like I didn't see the problem with this
I'd trade in all your anger for just one trip to this bliss
Balled fists, jagged teeth, I'm trying so hard to breathe
But the shaking in my lungs intensifies when I try to leave
I need a fix, please oh please, after this one I'll quit
Then I'll move onto something stronger for just a little bit
I mean shit, you can't tell me that you've never wanted to try
I can be your gateway if you feel like taking the ride
We can keep each other alive through the tales of our times
If we don't come back I guess it means that we weren't meant to survive
Your vacant stare speaks novels to my damaged ears
Like this is the escape that we have both been craving for years
So come here, indulge with me just once, let it flow
And when you've finally made the mistake, we let it all go (Oh no...)

The pounding in my head just won't go away
It's like I find myself doing this every single day
Headaches, bad shakes, endless body quakes
How long to sedate? How much is it gonna take?
