Intro To Pain

Intro To Pain

 

This is the intro to pain,

Why love the past when you can hate the present,

Just borrow tomorrow because yesterday is dead,

But you still see it, it’s all in your head,

It’s the reason your in your bed for 14 hours everyday,

Can’t open your eyes, can’t walk away,

Just open your mouth, say what you don’t mean,

“Everything is good.” While you still stuck on a dope lean,

Smoking in your car, away from your mama,

Cause she don’t like you, its just a whole bunch of drama,

She made you, but wants to dice you up like Dahmer.

You look like your dad, your past, your scars,

But you don’t notice, cause your head stuck up in the clouds and the stars,

Up so high, you might beat NASA to Mars.

Oh wait, unlike NASA, you’re functioning,

This is it, stay ten toes to the ground,

Speak to them, one side will come around,

Everyone thinks you’re hell bound,

She won’t listen to you, she can’t hear anymore sound,

Your words are hitting dead ears,

Your apologies striking real fears,

Your looks staggering in all mirrors,

It would seem to be so, yes, so it appears,

You see your own pain, stuck in headlights like deers,

Another drink, another round, cheers!

Blackout, trip back, what am I about, kick back.

I thought about it last night,

Thought about that noose,

The thing that would allow my release,

Allow me to die with this disease,

They said getting to this point would be hard,

Turns out it’s been a breeze,

Going downhill, trying out heroin and crack,

Its wack how you think you want to hear that click clack,

That one bullet spring up and rack,

Take that to your head, let it attack...

 

This is the intro to pain,

To depression, to bloody rain,

To living but doing so in vain,

Feeling like you’ve been run over by a f**king freight train,

Wanting to seek help but needing to refrain,

Nobody would get this, this is just my brain,

I murdered myself today, today I was slain,

Today the world may have won, but it surely didn’t gain,

Today I may have lost, but it doesn’t make me insane,

I could stretch these rhymes to make sense to you, I could strain,

Push to the edge, mad thoughts like Twain,

Today my thoughts will reign,

Today they’ll tell me I need to slice another vein,

I’ll go back to bad habits, cocaine,

Or just close myself off and contain…

 

This is the intro to pain,

Not much else you’ll say about it,

But maybe,

Just maybe,

You should go talk to a therapist,

You’re schizo, thinking you’re you,

No, you’re me and we’re like Slim now,

Almost at the bridge wow!

Glad we did this pal,

Took us on the trip of our lives,

And now we’re about to drown!

You know I know this is the end of it,

Wish it didn’t have to be this way but,

This is the intro to pain…

I really think you conveyed your thoughts to the audience well, easy to read and something we can all relate to. Great job.
