Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wade in the dark
Through whispering winds
I hide, lye in wait because I know how it ends
In circles of hell
The weight of the world
Even in my dreams
I can't escape from myself
[Verse 2]
I shut every door but the right one
I fought the devil and he won
[Verse 3]
There's gotta be more
'Cause this life is insane
Gotta turn this around and find
The Purpose for Pain
There's so much to lose, yeah
There's so much at stake
Gotta turn this around and find
The Purpose for Pain
The Purpose for Pain
[Verse 4]
Fell into the light
Thrown from the abyss
Screamed so many nights
Not going out like this
[Verse 5]
I shut every door but the right one
I fought the devil and he won
[Verse 6]
There's gotta be more
'Cause this life is insane
Gotta turn this around and find
The Purpose for Pain
There's so much to lose, yeah
There's so much at stake
Gotta turn this around and find
The Purpose for Pain
The Purpose for Pain
[Verse 7]
Yeah, there's Purpose for this Pain
There's Purpose for this Pain
There's Purpose for Pain
[Verse 8]
There's gotta be more
'Cause life is insane
Gotta turn this around and find
The Purpose for Pain
There's so much to lose, yeah
There's so much at stake
Gotta turn this around and find
The Purpose for Pain
The Purpose for Pain
The Purpose for Pain
