Lyrics
Precious Pain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everybody's got a hunger no matter where they are
Everybody clings to their own fear, everybody hides some scar
(CHORUS)
Precious pain, empty and cold but it keeps me alive
I gave it my soul so that I could survive
Keeping me safe in these chains, precious pain
Everybody's got a reason to abandon their pain
How can I think of tomorrow with my sorrow in hand
(CHORUS)
Each road that I walk down reminds me of you
This whole town is haunted, there'll never be anything new
(CHORUS)
