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
