Needle Drip

Verse 1

Clear plastic bag above my bed

Feeding silence into my head

One drop, two drop — time forgets

Every pulse a soft regret

Pre-Chorus

I float in wires, sink in sheets

The world dissolves beneath my feet

Chorus

Needle drip, take me slow

Wrap me up in vertigo

Don’t need truth, don’t need air

Just your chemical affair

⸻

Verse 2

I count the beeps between my thoughts

The things I am, the things I’m not

They say I’m stable — isn’t that sweet?

I’ve learned to smile between the beats

Pre-Chorus

I blink, the ceiling disappears

The angels speak in IV tears

Chorus

Needle drip, kiss me clean

Make me feel like I’ve never been

Hold me down, make me still

Soothe the echo, drown the will

⸻

Bridge (ethereal spoken word, warped and whispered)

“This is your calm. This is your cure.”

“This is your silence… on a silver cord.”

“This is where you stop asking.”

*“This is where you stop.”

⸻

Final Chorus (gentle breakdown, layered harmonies, fading out)

Needle drip, end the ache

Let me sleep but never wake

No more fire, no more fight

Just one last lullaby tonight
