Prelude To Pain

[Intro 1: Helena Marie]
Hello my name is Helena Marie and I'm back. Uhm. I want to talk a little about what's going on in- inside of me, because it's really hurting. Uhm

[Intro 2: Announcer of the TV Series "The Romance Of Helen Trent"]
And now: The Romance Of Helen Trent

[Song: Tim McIlrath]
The voices carry still
Across these dull great plains
Growing louder everyday

Sinking back to habits dying hard
Your arms are so familiar

Cover my ears, but still you call my name
I will follow you (deeper into this night)
These wounds that time won't heal
Fester with hate
So pick the scab and turn the page

Until the lion learns to write
The hunter will be glorified

Flip the switch
Flip the switch
Flip the switch
Flip the switch

And here I sit on the outside
Helpless just watching, watching you die

Eight dollar haircut (fuck you)

Now these words are my leash
That I cannot untie
Dragging me deeper into this night
So dim the lights, tighten the noose
I've lost myself in you

And I won't settle for anything less
Not one if us immune

Flip the switch [x12]

Until the lion learns to write
The hunter will be glorified
