Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pain
I guess it's a matter of sensation
But somehow you have a way of avoiding it all
[Verse 2]
In my mind
I have shot you and stabbed you through your heart
I just didn't understand
The ricochet is the second part
[Verse 3]
'Cause you can't hide what you intend
It glows in the dark
Once you've sought the path of revenge
There's no way to stop
And the more I try to hurt you
The more that it hurts me
[Verse 4]
Strange
It seems like a character mutation
[Verse 5]
Though I have all the means
Of bringing you fuckers down
I can't make myself
To destroy upon command
[Verse 6]
Somehow forgiveness
Lets the evil make the loss
[Verse 7]
No, you can't hide what you intend
It glows in the dark
Once we've become the thing we dread
There's no way to stop
And the more I try to hurt you
The more it backfires
[Verse 8]
The more that it backfires
The more that it backfires
