about

The problem with writing from pain is, what do you do when it stops?

lyrics

Things are always
so uncertain
in this fragile life

I fill up my world
with drama
this i
realise

all around me chaos
mounting
builds till I can't fight

as im searching for
contentment
i can never find


why can't i be
happy without
pain?

why does my
art need this
slaughtering?


why can't i be
happy without
pain?

why does my
art need this
slaughtering?


Things I always
find to hurt me
twist and multiply

Find more comfort
in this pressure
this i
realise

all around me chaos
mounting
builds till i can't fight

as i'm searching for
contentment
i hate when i find.


why can't i be
happy without
pain?

why does my
art need this
slaughtering?


why can't i be
happy without
pain?

why does my
art need this
slaughtering?


it's linked to
the slaughter
can't break from
the slaughter
it's linked to
the slaughter
of me.
