The Hurting Game - SHINING

Awake in the Day

Awake in the Night

It never stops, and it never will

The Parasite

It’s rolling the Dice, pinning the Blame

It’s digging its teeth in a Hurting Game

You’re a good name for a bad cause

You’re the best excuse for the worst thought

The Hurting Game have nothing to say

The very same day that you go away

I always said I would take the pain

So gather around for the very last Hurting Game

I always said

I would stay 'til the end

But I never said I would stay the same

So watch as I bring the end of The Hurting Game

Well, it stares in the dark

Like a film out in the light

I think that I took its eyes

So it will never find its way out

And it never should, and it never will

Old habits of mind now cold and still

Dead dogs don’t bark, but the sick will bite

No more swollen red eyes in the dead of the night

The Hurting Game have nothing to say

I always said

I would stay 'til the end

But I never said I would stay the same

So watch as I bring the end of The Hurting Game

I always said

I would stay 'til the end

But I never said I would stay the same

So watch as I bring the end of The Hurting Game

The Hurting Game had nothing to say

The very same day that you went away

I always said I would take the pain

So gather around for the very last Hurting Game
