I've felt the pop of the needle sliding into my veins
Like a fang into flesh
I've been enveloped in the golden haze
Where nothing is wrong
Even when all is falling apart
My dance with a hypodermic fiend
My hands in the claws of a vulture
My dance with a hypodermic fiend
My hands in the claws of a vulture
Heat washes over me and wraps me in her familiar grasp
The embrace, I beg to be held tighter
Hold me until I'm numb
For a sweet moment, I fight
As it tightens its grip
It works its way through my blood
The rush of the hit
You gave me wings
(You gave me wings)
But you took away the sky
You gave me wings
(You gave me wings)
This is what it feels like to die
I've felt the pop of the needle sliding into my veins
Like a fang into flesh
I've been enveloped in the golden haze
Where nothing is wrong
My hands in the claws of a vulture
Looking toward the chemical pulpit for answers
Through its deception, I'm shown the truth
And though it ignites a fire inside of my head
I've fallen for the ruse
Heat washes over me and wraps me in her familiar grasp
The embrace, I beg to be held tighter
Hold me until I'm numb
For a sweet moment, I fight
As it tightens its grip
It works its way through my blood
The rush of the hit
You gave me wings
(You gave me wings)
But you took away the sky
You gave me wings
(You gave me wings)
This is what it feels like to die
This is what it feels like to die
Usurper of my rational decisions
My body shudders
You are my warm blanket in the dead of night
The concoction reaches its hand out to me
And the needle grins at my dependency
Through its deception, I'm shown the truth
Through its deception, I'm shown the truth
Relapse
Heat washes over me and wraps me in her familiar grasp
The embrace, I beg to be held tighter
Hold me until I'm numb
For a sweet moment, I fight
As it tightens its grip
It works its way through my blood
The rush of the hit
You gave me wings
(You gave me wings)
But you took away the sky
You gave me wings
(You gave me wings)
This is what it feels like to die
