Needle

Verse 1

System is a cancer

Blackened bile in every throat

Rotting like a dead dog in the summer sun

You sell your soul for a fraction of a vote

Pre-Chorus

Every face is a mask of grease

Every hand is reaching for a throat

I look in the mirror

I see the same fucking beast

Chorus

Staring at the sun until the world goes black

Searching for a spark in the middle of the wreck

Burn it all down just to see what remains

Hope is a needle

Hope is the poison in my veins

Hope is a needle

Hope is the poison in my veins

Verse 2

I'm just a walking contradiction

Half holy water

Half cheap fucking whiskey

The greed is a ritual

We are the sacrifices for a God who went missing

Pre-Chorus

Every face is a mask of grease

Every hand is reaching for a throat

I look in the mirror

I see the same fucking beast

Chorus

Staring at the sun until the world goes black

Searching for a spark in the middle of the wreck

Burn it all down just to see what remains

Hope is a needle

Hope is the poison in my veins

Hope is a needle

Hope is the poison in my veins

Bridge

Maybe there's a crack

Maybe the light gets in through the shatters

I'm sick of the liars

I'm sick of my own mouth

Bleeding out the truth

Watching the tide turn

Cleanse the earth

Watch the pigs burn

Chorus

Staring at the sun until the world goes black

Searching for a spark in the middle of the wreck

Burn it all down just to see what remains

Hope is a needle

Hope is the poison in my veins

Hope is a needle

Hope is the poison in my veins

Post-Chorus

The dark won't win

The dark won't win

I'm coming back

I'm coming back

Yeah

Verse 3

Pull the thorns out

My head is heavy with the weight of the crown

Fucking everyone is hollow

But I refuse to drown in the shallow end

Chorus

Staring at the sun until the world goes black

Searching for a spark in the middle of the wreck

Burn it all down just to see what remains

Hope is a needle

Hope is the poison in my veins

Hope is a needle

Hope is the poison in my veins

Post-Chorus

The dark won't win

The dark won't win

I'm coming back

I'm coming back

Yeah

Oh yeah

Hope

Is

Still

Here
