Let the needle

Sink deep in your vein

Inject the grey

Lay back and fucking nod away

You say you'll get your fix

Then you'll quit living your life

Making a difference

From the outside in

Disguising the truth

That the problem's really you

If only you could get out of your own way

You'd see life in a new shade

Finding new ways to think

So you wouldn't keep on questioning

Why you've stayed the same

Get it through your head, the path of least resistance

Leaves you nothing but shame

There's no dignity in comforting complacency

Apathetically wasting away

Let the needle

Sink deep in your vein

Inject the grey

Lay back and fucking nod away

You say you'll get your fix

Then you'll quit living your life

Making a difference

From the outside in

Severed ties

With self awareness

Suffocated by

Your own bad habits

You say you'll get your fix

Then you'll quit living your life

Making a difference

From the outside in

Till you've touched the break in your spirit

You'll never learn to appreciate

Till you learn to suffer each day

You'll be secluded to a headspace

Of self sabotaging

Your chest aches

From internal decay

Atrophy of the mind

No drive, no fuckin' self belief

Desiderate and dwindle away

With no guts

There will be

No glory

Let the needle

Sink deep in your vein

Inject the grey

Lay back and fucking nod away

You say you'll get your fix

Then you'll quit living your life

Making a difference

From the outside in

Severed ties

With self awareness

Suffocated by

Your own bad habits

You say you'll get your fix

Then you'll quit living your life

Making a difference

From the outside in

Your ache don't fucking mean a thing

Life's not fair with a silver spoon in front of your face

You must give in order to gain

Reap what you sew
