So naive, so innocent

Thrust in a world too intense

Flesh is weak but the soul is strong

And you will bleed but you'll carry on

This hurt surrounds me like a dissonance

Anger is power

I use it to protect myself from insanity



You gotta go down deep down into the pain

Let it purge your soul like flesh to a razor blade

Dig down deep into the pain

Surrender surrender

Drift into euphoria



Time may never heal the wounds

Hearts bleed hard even the sun cries moon

Fate is tragic just for heaven's sake

The good Lord giveth and taketh away



'Cause you need your pain

God gave us pain

I can hold you in my arms

But I can't take away your pain



I am not long for this world

Please save me from myself and my discipline

Lashing out with tight fists in despair

My plight is running from reality



Put yourself down deep into the pain

Embrace the bliss of pure sensation

You can't escape from ultimate pain

So let your senses drift into euphoria



Blood is thickest when love is bold

But blood runs thin when the heart grows cold



So you need your pain, we all need pain

We were born into this world

To feel the joy of all our pain

Phantoms of opulent auras emblazed in a repulsively lush turmoil of incomp
