Needle In My Hand

i see the looks on their faces

my heart rate starts to race

what have i done

who have i become

my conscience eats me

my addiction defeats me

wanting to be numb

forgetting where i'm from

the needle in my hand

is my strongest demand

i try to fight

my chest becomes tight

take that look off your face

i know i'm a disgrace

i am sick 

my demons lay it on thick
