Addicted to Pain

Tell me how it feels to live a lie
Tell me do you know that it won’t ever be the same
You can’t deny
The house of cards just hit the floor

Don’t tell me you can save it in the end
There’s nothing you can do
‘Cause when it’s gone, you know it won’t come back again
But you don’t listen anymore

You’re addicted to pain
Too blind to see you’re lost in the shadows
So addicted to face
In time you’re gonna lose it all

If only I had said this long ago
If only I had found a way to tell you
All the things you should’ve known
But you were lost right from the start

You’re addicted to pain
Too blind to see you’re lost in the shadows
So addicted to face
In time you’re gonna lose it all

Remember to Forget

Stapled shut, inside an outside world and I’m
Sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home
Claustrophobic, closing in and I’m
Catastrophic, not again

I’m smeared across the page, and doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain, yet I’m the one who’s obscene
Catch me upon all your sordid little insurrections
I’ve got no time to lose, and I’m just caught up in all the cattle

I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that

I’m ripped across the ditch, and settled in the dirt and I’m
I wear you like a stitch, yet I’m the one who’s hurt
Pay attention to your twisted little indiscretions
I’ve got no right to win, I’m just caught up all the battles

I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that

My end
It justifies my means
All I have to do is delay
I’m given time to evade
The end of the road is my end
It justifies my means
All I have to do is delay
I haven’t time to evade
The end of the road!

Forget to Remember

What have I done?
Where have I come from?
When I burnt the backs with the sun through a glass
Did I seal the loss that’s become me?
Feeling undone, what have I become?
When I turned my back on you
I turned my back on myself and became this machine

I feel it on the inside
Twisting and contorting
Memory has shaped me once again
Still feel you on the inside
Biting through and stinging
Will I ever forget to remember?

Shadows in the sun
Filter through us
Still wrestle the demons that arrested me as a child
Confession rejected
We grow up to give up
People step on the cracks for wounds owed
Paid back through the words of surrender

I feel it on the inside
Twisting and contorting
Memory has shaped me once again
Still feel you on the inside
Biting through and stinging
Will I ever forget to remember?
