LYRICS
Pain
I guess it’s a matter of sensation
But somehow you have a way of avoiding it all
In my mind
I have shot you and stabbed you through your heart
I just didn’t understand
The ricochet is the second part
‘Cause you can’t hide what you intend
It glows in the dark
Once you’ve sought the path of revenge
There’s no way to stop
And the more I try to hurt you
The more it hurts me
Strange
It seems like a character mutation
Though I have all the means of bringing you fuckers down
I can’t make myself
To destroy upon command
Somehow forgiveness
Lets the evil make the laws
No you can’t hide what you intend
It glows in the dark
Once we’ve become the thing we dread
There’s no way to stop
And the more I try to hurt you
The more it backfires
The more it backfires
The more it backfires
