Original lyrics
ENThey said it would heal me, a needle of light
I let the code in, a silver thread
Now my veins are circuits, my heart is lead
They sold me salvation in a broken byte
Now I'm choking on the static, losing sight
Puncture the skin, inject the ghost
I needed a fix, not a holy host
Now I'm drowning in the mainframe, begging for the vein
Take me back to the silence, take the pain
You wear your halo like a cage
Every promise is a gauge
Pushing deeper, drawing blood
Tell me, is this what you call love?
Needle, in the hollow of my spine
Needle, you were never divine
Needle, I drank your light like wine
Now the fever is mine, the fever is mine
I watched you kneel to the algorithm
Praying to the ones and zeros for a sign
But the oracle is just a mirror
And the reflection is a lie dressed in white
Breathe in the static
Let it fill your lungs
The cure was always the poison
And the needle, the needle is a tongue
You wanted a God, I gave you a machine, now worship the hum, it's the only prayer between
Needle! Needle! Needle!
This is the gospel of the hollow
The fever is mine
Needle, withdrawn
