NEEDLES

This unfair battle I attend everyday
Rough and ill-mannered
Still walking strong and proud
But dragging my tired soul behind me

The hurt and the pain
All of it always adds up
Blowing a huge bubble in my stomach
Until I wish it would just churn inside of me
And overthrow the hurting with hate
And when it does…
This endless needle starts in my head
Doesn't stop until it reaches every nerve
And the pain fulfills my being
Until I can't take anymore

I will not give in to you
Lashing out
This is so fucked up
I don't want to go anywhere

Someday I'll get back at you
I'll tear you to shreds as you've done me
But this task is a bit harder
Because I am in love

Even you can't stop the pain
Except when I'm feeling you
And needing you
And loving you
You've driven a thicker needle into the same hole in my head
And I guess I haven't noticed
But you've replaced the love with hate

But what to do about my past?
I do not forgive and I do not forget
I'll get my revenge
And I'll avenge
My poor, defeated soul
I'll win this once and for all
