It's sunny today but the world is dark
Full of the pain to which I hark
That darkness is thick as the dead of night
So thick and black it gives me a fright
I fear that it will never reach an end
And I will be unable myself to defend
Pain is the light in this world so black
It permeates all, it cuts me no slack
The pain is welcome o'er the blackness so deep
But it allows me no corner, not even to sleep
It fills me up, keeps the emptiness at bay
It is here for the morrow, it's moved in to stay
It proves I'm alive for as long as I hurt
That means I am not planted in the dirt
The pain is everything, it's all that I own
It is my world, for which I'll never atone
It brings on the tears streaming down like rain
All that I see, all that I have, is this damn pain
I would cut off an arm to make it go away
But it looks like the pain is here to stay
Heartache is the worst pain by far
I wish it gone, I wish on a star
