Needle goes in and the pain fades out Needle goes in and the pain fades out Needle goes in and the pain fades out Needle goes in and the pain fades out I woke up again today I'm glad nobody saw I looked around my little cell It hadn't changed at all They try to burn the thorns around the tower of my heart They fear the wounds that never close The pulse that never starts They find the pins I've hidden But they never find them all So I scratch another day into the wall And the needle goes in and the pain fades out Needle goes in and the pain fades out Needle goes in and the pain fades out Needle goes in and the pain fades out Theories all around But it makes no real impression They assume I'm in here suffering That it's not my self-expression I want this isolation It's the only thing that helps me They think I want a saviour Who defines me as unhealthy They find the pins I've hidden But they never find them all So I scratch another day into the wall And the needle goes in and the pain fades out Needle goes in and the pain fades out Needle goes in and the pain fades out Needle goes in and the pain fades out
