Pain or Pleasure

To wake up with a brain that aches like
There's someone in your mind
Who's trying to get out
Makes it harder for a boy like me
To live and not just survive
Wish I could figure him out

Oh, but I don't want it to end this way
So I'm thinking I need to make that change

I've never known a buzz to feel this way before
I'm starting over again and I'm ready to mend what's torn apart when
The pressure gets too much to deal with
Without a source of pain or pleasure
Mmm, so I'm cleaning up my act for the better

Cleaning up my act for the better

Is it too late for a man to clear his name
Or is there still time?
God give me a sign
It's so easy for people like you to watch
And just pass me by
Don't you know I could die?

Oh, but I don't want it to end this way
So I'm thinking I need to change my ways

I've never known a buzz to feel this way before
I'm starting over again and I'm ready to mend what's torn
Apart when the pressure gets too much to deal with
Without a source of pain or pleasure
Mmm, so I'm cleaning up my act for the better

Cleaning up my act for the better
Cleaning up my act for the better

I'm done playing these games
Because you're never be a winner if you play it this way
I've had enough pleasure and pain
Now I'm changing for the better
And I'm clearing my name
Yeah I'm clearing my name
And I'm doing it today
