Lyrics
Pain Mgmt
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.
And do they follow you in the dead of night
Do their shadows line the walls?
Do they come for you as you thought they might?
And do you answer when they call?
Or do you hide your face to avoid their gaze
Self-diagnosed, a hopeless case
Is there a better way?
I don't know what it would take to save your life
But if you'd give me a chance, I'd like to try
I'm not gonna say that it's alright
'Cause we both know, yeah, we both know it's not alright
In the forest when the serpent strikes
I would suck the poison dry
In the oceans when the waters rise
I would drag you from the tide
I feel your shallow breath
Your pulse slowing down
And I won't let you drown
I don't know what it would take to save your life
But if you'd give me a chance, I'd like to try
I'm not gonna say that it's alright
'Cause we both know, yeah, we both know it's not alright
It's not alright
A demolition countdown set to blow
But there's a light still on, somebody's home
But the chainsaw's purr (but the chainsaw's purr)
And the vultures stir, circling around
What's it gonna take to save your life?
Just give me a chance and I will try
I'm not gonna say that it's alright
'Cause we both know, yeah, we both know
That I don't know what it would take to save your life
But if you'd give me a chance, I'd like to try
I'm not gonna say that it's alright
'Cause we both know, yeah, we both know it's not alright
It's not alright
'Cause we both know, yeah, we both know it's not alright
