Great Pain

They say if you ask someone a question

But you're too afraid of what they may answer back

And I connected two and two together

Ever since then I've been out of whack

So if you don't mind

And you can tell I'm not fine

But if it's all my vexation

It all but confirms my speculation

You say to me it was a long time ago,

This I know, but the only reason it happened is cause god let it show

And the last twenty years, have been less smiles and more tears

Maybe I'm the one that's wicked, cause I've been insisting

Of talking to you about something that has caused you great pain

Yes your illness is chronic, but you my friend are iconic I just wish you didn't have to spend so much time at work

The thoughts inside my mind, keep telling me I'm fine,

But for some fucking reason I go back there all the time

You say to me it was a long time ago,

This I know, but the only reason it happened is cause god let it show

And the last twenty years, have been less smiles and more tears

Maybe I'm the one that's wicked, cause I've been insisting

Of talking to you about something that has caused you great pain

So let the poets write, let the dreamers dream

Let the sadness cry, let the screamers scream

And if life is a nightmare we will have to define the definition of a nightmare

To see what is beyond the ordinary it's so scary

You say to me it was a long time ago,

This I know, but the only reason it happened is cause god let it show

And the last twenty years, have been less smiles and more tears

Maybe I'm the one that's wicked, cause I've been insisting

Of talking to you about something that has caused you great pain
