Kill The Pain That’s Killing You

Public burn-out suicides
Trails of flattened flowers
Constant threats in stranger’s eyes;
The soft turn hard, the sweetness sours

Kill the pain that's killing you - the fear of silence
Kill the pain that's killing you - bring on the noise

Broken glass, coarse serenades
Flashing lights, revolving doors

True love’s half-remembered dreams
Falling punch-drunk to the floor

Kill the pain that's killing you - the mights, the maybes
Kill the pain that's killing you - the constant humps
Kill the pain that's killing you - the tanked-up crazies
Kill the pain that's killing you - your midnight slumps

—

Your sweet boy’s doting mother
Laughs aloud with her latest lover

You kill the pain that's killing you
Whenever they're together
