Syrup and Screams
(tick,
tick, tick)
Thick like syrup running in my veins Another high reading driving me
insane Sensor screaming on the back of my arm Five hundred climbing,
sounding the alarm Cotton-mouth dry and my vision goes blur I can't
slow it down, everything's a slur
Needle in my fingers,
burning underneath
Counting out the units through my gritted teeth
(Inject the cold!) Can we bring the balance back again?
Sugar crash, acid wash,
keep me alive!
Fighting through the numbers just to survive!
(Heavy blood, burning slow!) No cure in the quiet,
no peace in the night Locked in a war with my own
sweet bite!
Carb counts spinning inside of my head Every single bite feels loaded
with lead Ketones brewing in a quiet dark storm Living on the
edge of the human norm Bruised and exhausted,
wearing the scars Tracing the lines under fluorescent bars
Needle in my fingers,
burning underneath
Counting out the units through my gritted teeth (Pour the
saline!) Break the fever before we fall!
Sugar crash, acid wash,
keep me alive!
Fighting through the numbers just to survive!
(Heavy blood, burning slow!) No cure in the quiet,
no peace in the night Locked in a war with my own
sweet bite!
Pump occluded!
System failed! (We breathe the fire while the sirens wail!) Flush it
out!
Flush it all out!
Three hundred down... drifting calm...
Still running sweet
through my palm... (steady now...
steady
now)
