Double Arrows Down

I'm sitting here tired of living life that's filled with fear

It's not fair, I'm just sick of being scared

Sometimes life deals you a shitty hand

Sometimes your day doesn't go as planned

But with me, I feel like all I do is bleed

There's days I wanna close my eyes and never wake up to my numbers high

Just lay there until all I read is low

I'm sick as shit of all these pricks

And everybody's ignorance

This needle's wearing thin, and there's no end

I'm sitting there in another cold pharmacy chair

Standing by while they suck my veins and wallet dry

I can write all these defiant songs

But my life is still reliant on machines, and all I do is bleed

There's days I wanna close my eyes and never wake up to my numbers high

Just lay there until all I read is low

I'm sick as shit of all these pricks, and everybody's ignorance

This needle's wearing thin and there's no end

Last thing I remember

Before you plunged the needle

I lied there shaking on this cold gas station floor

Eyes are rolling back

Into my skull, it fades to black

There's days I wanna close my eyes and never wake up to my numbers high

Just lay there until all I read is low

The highs and lows and insulin

I'm so tired of explaining it

This needle's wearing thin and there's no end
