All Pain No Gain

If life is a war-zone I would only be an innocent
In need of medicine, but left to meditate alone
If this is a journey then I'm surely just a passenger
Nomadic traveller, nothing spectacular at all

Never been one attracted to drama
But inside my mind it's like RADA
Like a natural disaster
The only way out just keeps getting harder
I know that I might get burned if I fly too close to the sun
But you don't get judged on regrets that you have
You are judged on the things that you've done

I was never made for this
I'm struggling I can barely breathe, barely see where I'm going and
I cannot escape from me
But if I cut this piece this piece of rope
There's a hope I'm still hanging on
There's something that crawls inside me
Not sure what I need entirely
Content in my heart not likely
No change, all pain, no gain
I dream of a world lived kindly
But fall when I aim too highly
Mind lost in a beat you'll find me
No change, all pain, no gain

If life is a jungle I could never be a predator
I'm no competitor, I'm just a messenger of hope
If this is a memory let it be one that we are learning from
One where we all belong, I'm sick of learning 'em alone

Can't help feel I was born at the wrong time
And can't stop the urge to escape life
Face yet another day with no drive
But digging deep to keep the flame alive
I know that I might get burned if I fly too close to the sun
But how can I quit from a game called life
Life isn't there to be won

I was never made for this
I'm struggling I can barely breathe, barely see where I'm going and
I cannot escape from me
But if I cut this piece this piece of rope
There's a hope I'm still hanging on
There's something that crawls inside me
Not sure what I need entirely
Content in my heart not likely
No change, all pain, no gain
I dream of a world lived kindly
But fall when I aim too highly
Mind lost in a beat you'll find me
No change, all pain, no gain

I'm still so vulnerable, I can't take any more
I feel I'm giving up the fight
So I put my bleeding hands up and hope I get an answer
For why I feel so cold inside
I'm so sick of being broken and now I've been exposed
I just pray I make it out alive

I was never made for this
I'm struggling I can barely breathe, barely see where I'm going and
I cannot escape from me
But if I cut this piece this piece of rope
There's a hope I'm still hanging on
There's something that crawls inside me
Not sure what I need entirely
Content in my heart not likely
No change, all pain, no gain
I dream of a world lived kindly
But fall when I aim too highly
Mind lost in a beat you'll find me
No change, all pain, no gain
