The Suffering

Intro

So cold, as it burns,
Pulls me under, as time slowly turns
As the tide comes in, so does the hurt,
So watch me as I settle in the dirt…
I die


Verse #1

These blisters; cyst-infested heart,
This tension; tearing me apart
I try, to shift the pain away,
(Make it stop, or let me decay)

Cuts to the bone; and saws on through,
Just eats away; and there’s not much left to chew
I fight this war in vain,
And I won’t go through this anguished pain again


Pre chorus

My pain; my fault
My heart; my burden
The confusion fuels my flaws,
Bring back the suffering


Verse #2

These termites; eating at my skin,
Pretend that; I don’t feel a thing
I try, to somehow numb the ache,
(Screen myself, but it swarms in anyway)

How do I feel? You tell me,
It’s indescribable, indefinable
Catching a glimpse of the hell I see,
Such a perfect world, with such a perfect deformity


Pre Chorus

My pain – my fault
My heart - my burden
The confusion fuels my flaws,
Bring back the suffering


Chorus

Inches away, yet drifting,
Edging closer to insanity
Enclosed in this toxic image,
How far away is the sanctity?


Bridge

I live; existence
I breathe; persistence
I will abide; subsistence
I will not die

I’ll suffer; desperation
But I’ll martyr; dedication
Until I fail to breathe, I’m all I need

Bring on the pain, let’s make it hurt,
Bring on the pain, for all it’s worth
Show me the way


Chorus

Inches away, yet drifting,
Edging closer to insanity
Enclosed in this toxic image,
Need the suffering to let me be

Inches away,
Edging closer, (edging closer)
Enclosed inside,
How far away is the sanctity?

It’s drifting (x2)
