Big Pain - Small Gain

for you, I was all out of action 

I'm not used to all this mind 
numbing distraction 

for me, you used to bring a natural attraction 

you hit ground zero, 
where is your inner saviour, 
your inner hero 

you traded your strength, for a synthetic 
shot 

I left that day, while I still 
had my mind in tact 

randomly pick a yesterday, with 
you thats how far you've fallen 
 
your friends, had noticed you've 
become unstable...this your reality 
I want no part 

this artificial climb, bury's who are, 
you can change your name, 
you'll snuff out, your natural spark 

this refusal, is deliberate and defiant, 

your child has lost the best part of you 
in her life, 

you spat out, your used to be, 
somewhere up the road, 

...I could go back and help you try 
to find it, share the burden...
share the load

but your frightened...in your used to be 
what you'll truly find 

the smell of sound competing for 
survival, 

you'll move on attract another, 
they too will become your rival 

for you, you're not looking for a 
good friend, 

just someone to entertain you, 
for your misery to contend...
