Build a life of antics,
Some cement and plastic,
A special pain in a special way,
Keep the flies away,

Make a deal with the angry man,
I see the sun when your smile dims,
Leaving late to miss the train,
Two souls lost and found again,

It comes to life when I go away,
This will be a long, long day,
The aftertaste of your embrace,
I'd never wish you such a waste,

Your hands hold a box that's filled with scars,
I make a wish and take them all,
A price on my face is a twinkle in your eye,
It casts a shadow over mine,

Pain is a daytrip side of me,
It's not your right to follow me,

You're a lost and contagious memory
That casts it's shadow over me

You're a puppet without any strings,
It's not my fault you're lost again,

Pain is a daytrip side of me,
It's not your right to follow me,

Pain is a daytrip,
Pain is a daytrip.
