i have no more
tears today
a sea of numbness
has washed them all away

anesthetic
heals the hurting
but there is nothing
that can stop it from returning

Jurisprudence, Klimt

keep the pain, lose the reason
drown yourself in a void past all believing
change the body, keep the mind
it's so hard to say good-bye
all the time

taste the nectar
from this cup
it tastes sweet going down
but bitter coming up
(drink of this oblivion)

it's my heart
that you're rending
it's a curse that's placed upon me
always neverending

it's my pain
that you feel
in hole left inside me
that will never fully heal

pain pain go away / come again some other day

one last kiss
you'll never find relief like this

the ties that bind
us together
severed on a fire
that we thought would burn forever

and when you've left it all behind
it returns again to haunt you
one more time

keep the pain, lose the reason
drown yourself in a void past all believing
change the body, keep the mind
it's so hard to say good-bye
all the time... all the time... all the time...
