Pain is the Plug

[Verse 1]
Pain hit my line, I pick up every time
Dealer in the shadows, selling sorrow by design
Nightmares in the baggie, memories I can’t deny
Tears hit the table, dissolve where the dreams die
Chained to the drip, IV of regret
Scar tissue blooms, can’t pay off the debt
Happiness a myth, I’m chasing silhouettes
Broken clock ticking, haven’t healed yet
[Prechorus]
Needles of the past, veins of the soul
I try to let it go, but it always takes control
[Chorus]
Pain is the plug, and we all need a fix
Injecting the darkness, can’t escape the abyss
Redemption on the corner, selling promises thin
But we all keep chasing, let the cycle begin
[Verse 2]
Depression the dealer, whispers sweet in my ear
Offers me escape, but the price is too clear
Heart heavy as a tombstone, carved with fear
Every pill swallowed, another wasted year
The mirror shows a ghost, reflection won’t stay
Eyes bleed the truth, but I look away
Clouds in my chest, storming every day
Addicted to the ache, can’t find another way
