[Intro]
Painkiller, I’m back, hands tied in the trap
The mirror cracked, staring at my relapse
Needles in my past, shadows on my map
Painkiller, I’m back, yeah, painkiller, I’m back
[Verse 1]
Razor to my hope, cut it down to a thread
Devil on my shoulder, been renting my head
The bottle's a preacher, sermons I misread
Every pill's a promise, every high's a debt
Cough syrup rivers, drowning my intentions
Ghost of who I was, haunting my reflections
Pulse on the edge, heartbeat in detention
The pain’s a prison, I’m locked in its dimension
[Chorus]
Painkiller, I’m back, swimming in the black
No light in the cracks, I’m lost on this track
Painkiller, I’m back, demons attack
I’m chasing my escape, but it pulls me right back
[Verse 2]
Tried to climb out, but the walls too steep
Every sober thought's a wolf I can't keep
Nightmares awake, insomnia’s teeth
Gnawing at my sanity, robbing my sleep
Memory's a villain, rewinds the abuse
Veins play the strings of a broken recluse
Life's a chessboard, but I’m playing for truce
Pawn in this game, always bound to lose
