Depth Of Pain

The depth of our pain is the core of life
We get it through love and with strife
I listen to music and watch some TV
Then I discover no one listens to me

Even though you tell them again, and again
No one's gonna notice so why even complain
We're all professional victims that act like we care
It hides our deep shallowness so user beware

Remember this, no one is ever to blame
After 10 minutes they won't even know your name
No one else matters and neither do I
It won't make a difference so why even try

Indifference, intolerance, that's what we preach
Listen very carefully it's all in our speech
Afraid to be hurt afraid to love too
Don't risk it all then it's just a preview

You've nothing to lose nothing to gain
When you choose to live in everlasting pain
We are all responsible and yes I said all
You can't avoid it and are going to fall

You, they, and I, we're all really the same
We strive for great difference but, it's still just a game
We hide from the truth hide from the facts
We're just being weak get over your past

Again nothing else matters and every body hurts
With a little luck you may find some converts
I wouldn't count on it though
This society shows no feelings we're shallow

Show of emotions, too much effort for us all
Do you think that really makes us small?
In love and in hate there's no middle ground
I took a chance on love a love that is sound

Jim 1991
