The Hero and the Pain
Caring has become a thing of the past
I broke bones, healed and I cut off the cast
Now nothing feels the same
And I'm numb inside but for this nagging shame...
Nagging shame
(Pre)
And I live but I never seem to learn
And I lie and lie so it doesn't hurt
Now I'm on my own in this desert I've made
Where the sun beats down, and I have no shade
Another breath in
Another breath out
Another false win
I can lie to myself about
I'm the sky and the rain
I'm the wild and the tame
'Cause I won't choose death
I'm the hero and the pain
The hero and the pain
The hero and the pain
Now I'm loading the gun, and I'm planning attack
And I'm asking the Son, for my life back
'Cause I killed all of my faith
When I cried for Him and no answer came...
No answer came
(Pre 2)
But I live, 'cause there's nothing else to do
And I scrape and grind, nothing left to prove
Got the devil inside and it's hot as hell
And I serve my time, in this prison cell
Color me in or shoot me down
I could be black or underground
Start up war and scream my name
Save my life or dig my grave
I'm just a man that's halfway done
Waiting for my ship to come
Will it come?
I broke bones, healed and I cut off the cast
Now nothing feels the same
And I'm numb inside but for this nagging shame...
Nagging shame
(Pre)
And I live but I never seem to learn
And I lie and lie so it doesn't hurt
Now I'm on my own in this desert I've made
Where the sun beats down, and I have no shade
Another breath in
Another breath out
Another false win
I can lie to myself about
I'm the sky and the rain
I'm the wild and the tame
'Cause I won't choose death
I'm the hero and the pain
The hero and the pain
The hero and the pain
Now I'm loading the gun, and I'm planning attack
And I'm asking the Son, for my life back
'Cause I killed all of my faith
When I cried for Him and no answer came...
No answer came
(Pre 2)
But I live, 'cause there's nothing else to do
And I scrape and grind, nothing left to prove
Got the devil inside and it's hot as hell
And I serve my time, in this prison cell
Color me in or shoot me down
I could be black or underground
Start up war and scream my name
Save my life or dig my grave
I'm just a man that's halfway done
Waiting for my ship to come
Will it come?
