Chronic Pain, My Old Friend
Good Morning Pain
Another day, Old Friend
Silent and invisible
Besides the cracking of my joints
and the pounding in my head
Every Day You And Me
I've grown tired of the misery
Its easier to sleep you away
At least I can't feel you then
But there you are the next morning
You follow me around
With claws in my shoulders and neck
And knives in my hips and back
Your murmurs sharp in my brain
I can't remember when I didn’t ache
When my head didn't throb
When my joints weren't sore
When I dreamt of dreams to achieve
Will you haunt me forever
This endless battle
Living or just existing
Goodnight Pain,
see you again tomorrow
