Bring Back the Pain

Please bring back the pain
Because at least I know 
I can still feel

The last verse I wrote
Drained me of all emotion
Of all devotion

Now I'm an android
Mechanically writing a verse
It's truly a curse

And I don't care at all
I was too proud for the fall
Now I watch it all burn

Bring back the pain
It's all I've got to go on
Watching the setting sun

Push my buttons
Sell all of my things
Push me aside

I don't feel any of it
Because a robot can't feel
Only relay facts

Each word is an echo
Eclipsed by stronger emotions
When I wasn't devoid

And I never gave a damn
I was too proud for the fall
Now I watch it all burn

Bring back the pain
It's all I've got to go on
Watching the rising sun

Bring back the pain
Won't you please bring back the pain
So I can feel again
