Joy and Pain

Set on a battlefield, disguised as a playground
Most people pass me by to play-round, but never stay down
Or up, I think I might be stuck
In a pattern of feeling closer to Saturn then dropping down where the ants had snuck
On this seesaw for like way too long
And I done seen and saw it all, this world done did me wrong
Sometimes I get up and leave cause I'm not too strong
Every time it's the same old song
Tell me what's going on
My seats are tattered, surprised by now they ain't shattered
My screws chatter, they loose, the screech don't get no bad-er
My handle's rusty, I'll hold my own, I'd rather trust me
The wood creak and click cause you know I like them thick
On the other side, yeah the one who ride
Oh I forgot that's the reason why I'm sick and tired
No matter the one across there is never no solution
I cannot find a way to distribute this distribution
I'm either way in the air, or tucked up in the ground
There's either dirt in your hair, or wind by the pound
And when I look at your stare it's clear we ain't here
Just going through all the motions the ending really near
You see all of this weight little girl
This weight is on us, but the pressure on me
When you down I'm too light, when you up I'm heavy
I cannot relieve your stress so I must set you free

Joy and pain
Joy joy joy joy joy and pain
Joy and pain
Joy joy joy joy joy and pain

Nothing more than a pleasurable ride, but then somehow too nice
A little too tough, way too soft but then way too rough
I'm either way too much or something or just not enough
Ain't this a playground anyway, where I could find my perfect balance out here any day
Think it's ironic that we always focus on my weight, cuz
It seemed like all your intents reflect the same thing the bathroom mirror does
You do not have a clue that this place divides into equal two
Because many come and use me but they all use me in vain
They confuse my whole purpose for their own personal gain
But they never ever get what they all have come to claim
Cuz the forces on each side do not equal out the same
Is this coming clear, am I getting through, do I need to write it out, present it to you, cuz I'm stuck
Whether I'm with you or without you
You might as well just reroute to
Another section for reflection so you see the flaw about you
Cuz right now you don't know how to
When you destined for the best then, you must contest all contestants
Until then I will rest then, my life like a seesaw, no question
But if you love me wish me luck on my quest then

Joy and pain
Joy joy joy joy joy and pain
Joy and pain
Joy joy joy joy joy and pain
