Pain Again

Yeah, step on up, son, that's good You got to hold on to that fury Yeah, that's the last thing to go The final hiding place, the final fig leaf Who are you? Oh, I have so many names Damnation What does the world have against me? Ah! Yeah! On and on, again and again, anxiety circles me What am I to do? Plagued by a never-ending cycle What's the point of defying when you always fall in line? What's the purpose of trying with the clock up against me? Oh! On and on, again and again, I'm bathed in another sin Getting tired of anger Go line for line every time I try and my mistakes have made me Is there a legacy left to lead? What will I tell my sons of the life I lived when they ask of me? Every night's a new struggle, every day is the same It's the bitch of living, or maybe just a game Every week's another burden, another year full of shame The real bitch of living is knowing life will never change I'll never quite get the message Oh! The new damnation Rah! I'll never quite get the message, Lord let me be You'll never quite get the message, Lord let me be Arf! Maybe it was your time to lose, you didn't think so Lose? I don't lose, I win, I win, that's what I do I rest my case

Another day in shame, another mark on my conscience Why do my days stay dark? Empty shell When all of my patience still isn't enough Well, who will want me then? I kill your ghost again I kill what's left of you in me, or what's left at all In all of my anger, I swore I did enough But even I don't believe that But I still had faith Between you and me in confidence I don't blame you at all I played and I lost Between you and me in confidence It'll never get through to you It's like I'm beating a dead horse Yeah Slowly down to hell, we rot I guess I get what I truly deserve Slowly down to hell, we rot I guess I got what I truly deserved

You learn a lot about darkness staring at the sun You learn a lot about company when the love is gone I don't see the power, I just hear the call to greatness But you wouldn't understand looking at me from the outside Ah! This anger, it lives inside of me You can feel it when I speak truth and even when my teeth show Err! No taste when it comes to acceptance and no remorse for the ones that leave You learn a lot about life when your friends start dying You learn a lot about trust when you're left so lonely Again, to no surprise And I hate that I can see you when I look in my eyes Alone again Rrrah! Well, who'd have guessed you'd do me so dirty? Well, goddamn, am I really so selfish? Am I so naive that I can't see my faults but I would point out every one of yours? Rah! Everyone dies alone, you and everyone you know Everyone dies alone, you and everyone you know

So cold, so very distant Where does all the time go? It's such a shame that I could walk right past you and not know the difference How could you expect a title when you live underground? How could you be so cavalier when this house is so cold? I'd rather say you rest in peace, no skin off my back Even though it's your blood in my veins, I do with it what I choose Run to your place of hiding, but you can't escape the guilt Wake up and wish to start again, but what does that mean to me? Nothing I'd rather say you rest in peace, no skin off my back Even though it's your blood in my veins, I do with it what I choose I'd rather say you rest in peace, no skin off my back Even though it's your blood in my veins, I do with it what I choose My life to lead and my soul to keep How do I save your name from dishonor? No, no more dishonor Shame on you Yeah

Why always me who has to put you in your place? I'll never forget what you put me through and all those selfish nights Only dogs get put down, the bitch of living Too cruel to be left alive I'm just trying to be what you want me to be and it never ends And it's pain again Mark this day as the last I feel this way for the comfort The repetition is my vice, my poison Only dogs get put down, the bitch of living Too cruel to be left alive I'm just trying to be what you want me to be and it never ends And it's pain again Pain again I always seem to find you again Cutthroats are made of us No time to waste Actors, liars and fakes It's too dangerous for me to leave you alive You're a hazard, stifle yourself and all of your surroundings You need to be put down Put down Trust is a motherfucker Selfish and angry is how you left me, I've become so rotten Pain again

If these walls could talk And these lights go any lower Would you have the power to lay it all on the line Leave it all on the floor and go break a leg? There must be something in those subtleties There's something darker in your mind There's something built inside to pacify There's something darker here at play If these letters could talk to you And my temper get much shorter Would I have the power to lay it all on the line Leave it all on the floor and go break a leg? There's something special in your mindset that sets you apart There's something colorful inside You speak of peace and the future like you've been there before Why would you act so cold? Well, there's something special in those subtleties There's something deeper in your mind There's something built inside to pacify There must be darker things at play Where do you stand? Right before me, you left me alone again Where do you stand? Where do you stand?

Empire of dirt From all across the world, I can see right through you With my nose to the grind wheel The only way I'll ever make it Dirt from my past Clean up the mess with a new love Now where would be dramatics in that? My throne looks like no other And my reign as the king of fools Is solidified as the king of rats No time to waste, misery, take me Misery No time to waste Dirt from my past I'll sweep you under the rug And I hope you hurt from the pain you caused You motherfucker Empire of dirt Empire of dirt I hope you rot, motherfucker

As far as looking at the downsides What the future holds, I really can't say And as far as feeling satisfied I wouldn't know where to start I accepted that I could leave But where do you go in the end? Do you rise to salvation or do you burn eternal? I am not a victim, I just see through the fake I am not a victim, I just could never relate As far as looking at the upsides What the future holds, I really can't say And as far as feeling satisfied You wouldn't know where to start I accepted that I could leave But where do you go in the end? Do you rise to salvation or do you burn eternal? Yeah I am not a victim, I just see through the fake I am not a victim, I just could never relate Lay in sin Lay in sin Lay in sin Lay in sin Lay in sin Lay in sin
