Sometimes when I try to stand

The Men with Needles take my hand

They lay me down in a hospital bed

And drain the life from me

Sometimes when I try to think

And pour my problems down the sink

The Men with Needles knock on my door

And take away my energy

Sometimes when I try to see

And find the beauty that surrounds me

The Men with Needles appear again

And take my eyes away

And sometimes in the mirror

My skin will turn to paper

And the color fades and turns to white

The Men With Needles have made me nothing

My reflection disappears

And I'm nothing you see

And I'm holding as tightly as you held on to me

The Men with Needles leave and return

And take more and more

There's nothing left

I die waking up

As they took my last breath
