“Needles Don’t Love Nobody”
I buried enough ghosts…
I wasn’t about to become one.
[Verse 1- Steady acoustic, haunting fiddle, restrained drums, raw vocal]
I’ve worn bruises underneath a Sunday smile,
Walked through hell in country miles.
Trusted hands that only knew how to steal,
Promises ain’t worth a damn if they ain’t real.
You sold forever just to chase one more high,
Looked me dead in both eyes and lied.
I built a home while you dug your grave,
Love can’t rescue someone who don’t wanna be saved.
[Pre-Chorus- Drums build, electric guitar swells, emotional tension]
Secrets always claw their way into the light,
Heroin don’t sleep, it kills every night.
Every hidden needle…
Every whispered excuse…
Sooner or later…
They all tell on you.
[Chorus- Huge distorted guitars, pounding drums, soaring gritty vocal]
Heroin ruins families.
Heroin buries dreams.
Turns good men into strangers
And love into screams.
You chose that needle,
I chose my name.
I’m walking away
While you’re feeding the flame.
I won’t die beside your addiction…
Needles don’t love nobody…
They just leave destruction.
[Verse 2- Driving drums, aggressive guitar riffs, fiddle answering each line]
The cash disappeared, your stories changed,
Every damn promise got rearranged.
Friends all vanished, truth moved in,
That’s where every addict’s ending begins.
The lies got louder than your heartbeat,
Trust fell shattered beneath my feet.
You called it surviving…
I called it decay…
I finally loved myself enough…
To walk away.
[Verse 3-Heavy toms enter, gritty electric guitar, mournful fiddle, vocals filled with anger instead of heartbreak. Keep intensity building toward the bridge.]
You can’t build forever on a cracked foundation,
Every hit became another separation.
The man I loved disappeared in the smoke,
Leaving me hanging on promises that broke.
I fought your demons till they wore my name,
But addiction don’t care who takes the blame.
I finally packed what’s left of my soul,
’Cause loving an addict costs more than it stole.
[Bridge- Half-time beat, heavy bass, haunting vocal with rising intensity]
You can’t outrun heroin.
It owns every room.
It strips every heartbeat.
It signs your doom.
It’ll steal your children…
Your soul…
Your pride…
Till all that’s left
Is another lie.
[Final Chorus- Full band explodes, layered vocals, screaming lead guitar, crashing cymbals]
Heroin ruins marriages.
Heroin buries hope.
Turns every promise
Into another rope.
I won’t drown
Trying to keep you afloat.
You picked the poison…
I picked the road.
This ain’t revenge…
It’s survival.
I’m leaving with my heartbeat…
While heroin keeps taking yours.
[Outro- Lone acoustic guitar, fading fiddle, quiet thunder, broken but defiant vocal]
I cried enough tears…
Now the river runs dry.
You chose the needle…
So I chose goodbye.
