Lyrics for A Pain That I'm Used To

All this running around Well it's getting me down Just give me a pain That I'm used to I'm not sure what I'm looking for anymore I just know that I'm harder to console I don't see who I'm trying to be instead of me But the key is a question of control Can you say what you're trying to play anyway? I just pay while you're breaking all the rules All the signs that I find have been underlined Devils thrive on the drive that is fueled All this running around Well it's getting me down Just give me a pain That I'm used to I don't need to believe All the dreams you conceive You just need to achieve Something that rings true There's a hole in your soul like an animal With no conscience, repentance, oh no Close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise Devils feed on the seeds of the soul I can't conceal what I feel, what I know is real No mistaking the faking, I care With a prayer in the air, I will leave it there On a note full of hope not despair All this running around Well it's getting me down Just give me a pain That I'm used to I don't need to believe All the dreams you conceive You just need to achieve Something that rings true All this running around Well it's getting me down Just give me a pain That I'm used to I don't need to believe All the dreams you conceive You just need to achieve Something that rings true
