Falling Rain

The rain will fall to no end
The rain will fall around the bend

The rain will fall until you are blind
The rain will fall because you're behind

The rain will fall to hurt you
The rain will fall to kill you

The rain will fall to kick you when you are down
The rain will fall until you drown.

The Pain That You Feel

The pain that you feel,

But can’t touch.

A pain you know of,

But can’t explain

A pain so fierce

You go insane

The unknown pain

That clutches your heart

And burns in your soul

Lost In Numbness

Lost in numbness for years
Running from pain
Trapped in the freezing rain
Constantly numb
Pain is better than nothing at all
Pain without reason, a cause, or even love,
Is better than being all numb
Trapped in a world of numbness without a reason
Show me a world I understand
Pain is all that I have known
No longer able feel anything but pain
Life is filled with pain
Pain is now a comfort
The only thing I can count on
The one thing I understand
It is all I have
All I feel
For my life is filled with pain
Pain is all there is left
When happiness doesn’t work

The Pain Feels Good

I never knew how much pain can hurt,
How much agony can come from death.
After the suffering is gone, then comes the hole in your heart.
The hole hurts worse than the pain ever did,
And only then do you wish for the pain again.

When the pain returns you feel emotion again.
And that's what you start to want
To feel emotion, any emotion.
Pain is best because you're used to it,
You're used to it and so you revel in it,
You learn to love pain
So pain loves you.

It haunts you until you want pain more than anything
You wish bad things so you can have more pain.
And that is worse than anything else
Because you are officially at rock bottom.
Rock bottom is where I'm at.
