Pain

OPENING LINE

I’m not going to sit here and pretend it doesn’t hurt just so I can make you feel comfortable.

VERSE 1

Why should I be ashamed to talk about what’s hurting inside?

Because male genitals are supposed to be symbol of pride?

If you dig into my corners, darkness is all that you’ll find

Going to catch me like an assassin sneaking up from behind

You could get away with murder if you were in my math class

You could giggle in my ear and put your hand upon my ass

You could take away my ability to focus on the simple tasks

How many polynomials was I supposed to fucking add?

CHORUS 1

Pain! Pain! It’s never really over!

Growing up to have brand new owners!

Pain! Pain! It’s never really fair!

When you attract laughter and wicked stares!

VERSE 2

Why should I be ashamed to dump my problems onto the web?

Because all of this bullshit has somehow already been said?

So much support coming from all over the fucking world, huh?

Yet it still seems appropriate to crawl in bed and curl up

Jealousy and envy are just more feelings for the back burner

Rejection is for suckers who refuse to be fast learners

Charisma is for those who were born with the genetic code

For staying cool when life makes your head want to explode

CHORUS 2

Pain! Pain! It’s never really just!

The suffering and agony were all just a bust!

Pain! Pain! It’s never really explained!

Comes at me full force like a runaway train!

CHORUS 3

Pain! Pain! It’s not just for the weak!

It’s even for the supermen and super freaks!

Pain! Pain! It’s not just for the teens!

But every motherfucker who loves to bleed!

Pain! Pain! It’s not just for the crippled!

Spreads across the land like an earthquake ripple!

Pain! Pain! Let’s talk about our pain!

Before we become another suicide stain!

Pain! Pain! Pain! Pain!

Why Won't You Love Me?

VERSE 1

An autograph for your necrograph

Yet you turn away and belly laugh

Tell the world I’m damaged goods

I’m a psycho hiding out in the woods

Imagination short circuited by pills

Wasted potential killed off by the ills

Scandalous past kicking my own ass

The quiet one in the back of the class

CHORUS

Why won’t you love me?

Why do you shove me?

Enough room in my heart for an army

Even for the ones who try to harm me

Why won’t you love me?

You’re so high above me

Enough room in my mind for a choir

Love me or leave me, down to the wire

VERSE 2

Jealousy is a sincere form of flattery

Exclusion is a real form of battery

Failure is the true root of all agony

Suffering is the beginning of tragedy

I see you flying like a golden angel

My wings are bent at a funny angle

I’ll see you on the bottom of the barrel

I’ll find you when I’m lonely and feral

CHORUS

Why won’t you love me?

Why do you shove me?

Enough room in my heart for an army

Even for the ones who try to harm me

Why won’t you love me?

You’re so high above me

Enough room in my mind for a choir

Love me or leave me, down to the wire

VERSE 3

My passion won’t allow me to let go

My anxiety won’t allow me to know

The answer to this riddle called life

No matter how I hard I fucking try

They tell me to be patient and wait

Until the day I’m at the pearly gates

Work harder than I’ve ever worked

Until I blow a fuse and go berserk

PRE-CHORUS

Why won’t you love me?

Why won’t you care?

Why do the masses

Give me a blank stare?

Why won’t you love me?

Why won’t you join me?

Could my cries for help

Be that fucking annoying?

CHORUS

Why won’t you love me?

Why do you shove me?

Enough room in my heart for an army

Even for the ones who try to harm me

Why won’t you love me?

You’re so high above me

Enough room in my mind for a choir

Love me or leave me, down to the wire

Wounded Angel

VERSE 1

How many times have you been hurt?

How many blood stains are on your shirt?

How many times have you been lied to?

If I was in your shoes, I’d want to cry too

Instead of reaching for the Promised Land

You gathered pills in the palm of your hand

You swallowed them all with a bottle of booze

You’ve got nothing left, what is there to lose?

CHORUS

Wounded angel! Wounded angel!

Say something if you are able!

Burning devil! Burning devil!

You’ve fallen to such a low level!

VERSE 2

We all have a past full of pain and sorrow

We all somehow look forward to tomorrow

What happened to the muscles in your body?

Instead of growing from this, you’re rotting

We all like to travel to those darkest places

Sooner or later, you’ll see the demons’ faces

The same demons you were trying to run from

Instead of escaping, you’ve gone and fucked up

CHORUS

Wounded angel! Wounded angel!

Say something if you are able!

Burning devil! Burning devil!

You’ve fallen to such a low level!

VERSE 3

I don’t blame you for the pain you feel

I blame you for the damage you deal

We tried so hard for you and your future

But nobody’s winning, we all are losers

I can only do so much for you, my friend

Negativity’s bringing our story to an end

All you had do was call out for help

Instead you took a nosedive to hardcore hell

EXTENDED CHORUS

Wounded angel! Wounded angel!

Say something if you are able!

Burning devil! Burning devil!

You’ve fallen to such a low level!

Everybody’s hurting so badly now!

Will things get better? We don’t know how!

You’ve taken more than you’ve ever given!

All you had to do from the start was listen!

HOOK

Into the box with the permanent locks

Into the dirt where it forever will hurt

Past the gates where you sealed your fate

And now here comes the cataclysm of hate
