09 Another Lesson In Pain

Another Lesson in Pain

So we're equal but we're not the same
What I look for you'd just throw away
Down with the water to the river to the shore
I cannot take this anymore

All the stolen, all the broken
All the borrowed, all the blue
All my hate I share with you
Another lesson in pain

Little is the space I own
Yet you don't know that you can't have it

Give me more – it can't be more than I can take
See, there were other friends I've made before
Spoken: broken
More for show, for blow
Growing – bowing down and low

As I walk alone
Free my heart from stone

Now see this, see it very well
At the bottom line we're even ordinary
Irritated solo-mutants
Nerve-twisted, longing for some sleep

"Attention now!" cries tragedy
Finally we're more than just free
Take the good, turn it to bad
Leave a message and me alone

The ashes come from fire
The fire from the boom
The boom I think was when I pushed the button labelled "go"
