Focus on the Pain

God giveth and God taketh
Why is it when I'm not depressed
I'm anxious?
Reminded once again people be fuckin' heinous
You give all of yourself and they just keep takin'
You're tank's runnin empty, everything's so draining
You gotta stay busy just to keep from cavin'
Praying for relief, the pain is so pervasive
Feelin' so strained, fuckin' numb as novicane is
I place that Ye smile on my face to face
The wicked games that life likes to play
You lose touch, you lose taste, and you lose weight
Your brain's fried, your heart aches, ain't thinkin' straight
From your own mind, you try to find a safe place
Hide your tears, inside your fear, collides with fury
The turn of the tide is near, I refuse to stand idly by down here
But 5 minutes still feels like 5 years, UHHH

Focus on the pain (think about it)
Try to find your strength (don't stop)
Pray for hope and faith (keep goin')

Sick to my stomach
Close your eyes and picture the plummet
From the tippy top of the highest summit
From the rubble a different kind of man is summoned
Grief transforms into anger and contempt
Your defensive and paranoid, you crave revenge
Rage relentless, no steroids, you see no end
I could forgive and forget, but that wouldn't serve you
Encouraged to purge you for lack of virtue
You hurt me bad, now Imma hurt you
I write these verses with the dirt you threw
So let this cursive I spurt curse you
In pursuit of bringing this rain on you
My reign in the realm of pain ensues
UHH
I'm on the verge of being submerged
And drowning myself to the point of no return
No return, no return man, no return man, no return man
SHIT

Focus on the pain (Think about it)
Try to find your strength (Don't stop)
Pray for hope and faith (Keep goin')

Lookin' at the man in the mirror
Some time passes you can see much clearer
Pain is a phenomenon we all done been through
This pencil lets me get the shit off my mental
In this tempo, I promise it'll pass like Bentyl
Sentimental, but these sentiments intend to attend to
Anyone and everyone who is dealing with pain
Who's got nothing left but this song to play
I'm sayin' you will bend but you will not break
You gotta dig deep, you gotta grit those teeth
Use that misery that you feel so deep in your bones and your soul
You can turn a new leaf
You will discover... That you can recover... And find peace...

Focus on the pain (Think about it)
Try to find your strength (Don't stop)
Pray for hope and faith (Keep goin')
Focus on the pain (Think about it)
Try to find your strength (Don't stop)
Pray for hope and faith (Keep goin')

And find peace
