Needles and the Needy

[Verse 1]
Cold room
Smell of rust on the tray
Leather strap on my wrist
You just laugh, say "it’s okay" (yeah)
Black lace, black eyes
You sharpen up my fear
Silver needles in a glass
You whisper, "bring it here"
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it’s "for the needy"
Halo cracked and bleeding
Smile like a promise
Hands like a thief
[Chorus]
You stick your needles in my veins for the needy
Trying to drain out every last good piece of me
You take my blood, then you bargain with the devil
Selling off my soul at a cut‑rate level
Needles and the needy, you’re feeding on my pain
If I lose myself, who gets saved?
Who gets saved?
[Verse 2]
Clipboard
Check my pulse, count my sins
Black lipstick like a curse
As the ceiling starts to spin
You say, "Just one more vial"
But the bag’s already full
Saint tattoos on your neck
While you strip me of my pulse (hey)
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it’s "for the needy"
Such holy little secrets
Charity in daylight
At midnight you feast
[Chorus]
You stick your needles in my veins for the needy
Trying to drain out every last good piece of me
You take my blood, then you bargain with the devil
Selling off my soul at a cut‑rate level
Needles and the needy, you’re feeding on my pain
If I lose myself, who gets saved?
Who gets saved?
[Bridge]
Signed my name
On the dotted line
Thought it was a waiver
Didn’t see the shrine
Candles, contracts
Ashes on the floor
You kiss my wrist and say
"You’re not you anymore" (woah)
[Chorus]
You stick your needles in my veins for the needy
Trying to drain out every last good piece of me
You take my blood, then you bargain with the devil
Selling off my soul at a cut‑rate level
Needles and the needy, you’re feeding on my pain
If I lose myself, who gets saved?
Who gets saved?
