Partner in Crime

I stalk this region. I’m the rule that runs this game.
Like darts of icy wind I whistle through your brain.
I drive you to the street with eyes red and insane.
You might do anything to loose my ball and chain.
And my name is pain. Desperation’s my terrain.
Pain. Like needles running through a vein.
I won’t deceive you like a lover gone astray.
I’ll never leave you, though you scream, "please go away."
Unless I’m satisfied, I’ll haunt your every day.
You’ll buy me guns and drugs and anything I say.
And my name is pain. No use to cry again.
Pain. Endless is my song’s refrain.
