Take Away the Pain

I see you in your nightmare

Sucking in all that despair

All it took was that one affair

Life has become more than you can bare,

You look around for an escape

To hide from the world behind drapes

You’re on a minefield landscape

Your wounds are all agape,

Praying for God to take away the pain

But my friend you’re within the devil’s reign

Satan’s empire of the insane

Wish I could relieve that aching in your brain,

How well I know I’ve experienced the same

So badly I wished I could go back from where I came

But the clock never goes backward it remains

And your reality becomes stained,

Don’t set foot where you’ve been before

Don’t expect her to come knocking at your door

Don’t allow yourself to collapse on the floor

In this world there is more in store,

Yes the wound is to your heart

We have all played this fatal part

Even though you couldn’t have known from the start

The sting of the Pygmy’s poison dart,

Like mining for gold you’ll never find

You’re desperately searching for peace of mind

But the planets aren’t always aligned

Life is as it always is not always kind.
