Closer Than The Needle Lyrics

I knew I'd see your face again.
I know you have the best intentions.
So I leave my heart out on the door.
You knock it down just like you did before.

You don't live, you just pretend.
You only come back when you're short of friends.
You believe every single thing you say.
But in the morning it won't sound the same.

Hold me closer than the needle.
Fill the emptiness I feel.
Hold me closer, I am real.
I'll fill the emptiness you feel.
We feel.

Now, you've been locked up,
You've been chained.
Junk took your mother,
still, you won't be swayed.
He's got his hands around your throat.
You beg him, "Baby, please don't let me go."

Hold me closer than the needle.
Fill the emptiness I feel.
Hold me closer, I am real.
I'll fill the emptiness you feel.
We feel.
