[Verse 1] White coats Bright screens Barcode on my sleeve Paper cup Small sting Sign here Then you leave Cold chair Closed door Hushed words Clipped tone “You’ll be fine ” they say But my pulse says I’m owned [Chorus] They want the rush in my veins Chasing ghosts in my brain Turn my fear into gold Yeah They buy what they can’t control They want the burn in my blood Drip it slow Call it love Write my life in their code While they drink what they’ll never know [Verse 2] Late night Tall glass Sharp smell Thin laugh Black car Back gate Name tag Stained badge Glass vials Steel tray Eyes bright Hand shakes “Just a test ” they grin But the walls won’t break [Chorus] They want the rush in my veins Chasing ghosts in my brain Turn my fear into gold Yeah They buy what they can’t control They want the burn in my blood Drip it slow Call it love Write my life in their code While they drink what they’ll never know [Bridge] Tell me How much for a heartbeat? (hey) Auctioned off in the dark row by row If I’m just a number on a screen now Why does it hurt me so? [Chorus] They want the rush in my veins Chasing ghosts in my brain Turn my fear into gold Yeah They buy what they can’t control They want the burn in my blood Drip it slow Call it love Write my life in their code While they drink what they’ll never know
