I am sick of this place of death

With a pace that's set

And you know the pessimistic bend

Just to watch you break

Practice what you preach.

Separate skin from the bone

Digging at my flesh

Like a schizophrenic with a blade

Fingers tracing scars

Mapping out reminders of just how much I can take.

Pressure in my brain

My shoulders take the weight

Back's about to break.

Pain

Every day that I awake

In my blood and through my veins

Now there's nothing left that you can take away from me.

Pain...

Because I've seen it before

I've lived it before

I've been there before

Incarnate

So don't you ever underestimate me.

Daily death

Crooning in my ear

Things I wanna hear

Turn my head and bite my tongue

Spitting blood on my pre-determined grave

This is all a game.

Pressure in my brain

My shoulders take the weight

Back's about to break

This is all a game.

Pain

Every day that I awake

In my blood and through my veins

Now there's nothing left that you can take away from me.

Pain

Every day that I awake

In my blood and through my veins

Now there's nothing left, nothing left that you can take from me.

Pain, pain, pain, pain.

Footprints in the sand

That can't be washed away

It breeds while we're asleep

It feeds when we awake.

Burdens of the flesh

Our bodies are so weak

We seek the spirit's truth

To turn the other cheek.

Turning the other cheek to see a world broken, lost and vain

How can you ever look at someone else the same way?

We all bleed

The human race

Have some empathy

We are all in pain.

If we commiserate

Then we can share the weight

We are all the same

We are all in.

Pain

Every day that I awake

In my blood and through my veins

Now there's nothing left that you can take away from me.

Pain

Every day that I awake

In my blood and through my veins

Now there's nothing left, nothing left that you can take from me.
