To ----

The need. It crawls inside you.

Under your skin-it crawls inside you.

There is no hope, peace, sleep

When the need crawls inside you.

You give in to your masters call

You lie, steal, cheat to get your way

That need is crawling

That need is calling

A single pin-prick and you’re escaped

The need, no longer crawling but still

Crawling inside you

The need, no longer calling but still

Calling out to you

Pull back and watch your blood mix

With that syrup-like liquid

Hesitate for a brief moment

Three two one release push in

You want to give up you’ve lost your way

You’ve lost your friends, family, your home

Your car, your money, your phone

It’s funny how not even technology

Wants to stay with you

And why do you do this to us?

Do you hate us? Is this revenge?

I’m so scared for you ---

I don’t want your life to end

Because of that goddamn need

That need that calls to you

That need that crawls inside you

And I’m not going to stay, doll face

I’ve given all I can give to you

But I can’t sit back and watch you die

I will not sit back and watch you die

From that goddamn need

That calls out to you

That crawls inside you

That gets under your skin

That will eventually overcome you

My dear, you can’t win.
