I am the needle in the vein

Chorus

I am the needle in your vein

I am the stuff that kills your pain

I am the drug, I am the buzz

I am the remedy that does

Excite just because

I am the man

Who only you can understand

Verse

Several women have fought for my soul

Some lured with love, others tried it with gold

Each one tried to recast, remold

I never did what I was told

Chorus

I am the sinner corrupting saints

I am what burns and what remains

I am the ever apparent stain

I am the lust, I am your pain

I am the man who they defame
