The Pain Exceeds the Fear - Teethgrinder

A life behind broken windows of missed chances

From where mistakes and faults

Are imposed upon the world

Where days feel like forsaken aeons

And nights taste like shame

Where no blessings can be counted.

Or ties found uncut

Where despair is transcendent

And life unloved

Dreams are burned by fires lit through your words

The charred remains of what I’ll never be

Drown them in tides of remorse and dismay

Leave me longing for the void’s embrace

Where no blessings can be counted.

Or ties found uncut

Where despair is transcendent

And life unloved

The pain of existence exceeds my fear of death

Take me away

The pain of existence exceeds my fear of death

Let me decay

The pain of existence exceeds my fear of death

Take me away

I can no longer endure what I self inflict

Give me cold.

Give me pain
