6...6...6... And this is why the world burns And this is why we divide Ourselves and our posterity We don't join, but collide And this is why it hurts And this is why children cry And this is why the young and old Stand defiant and denied And this is why the water's warm This is when the floodgates open And this is why we lose our land The ocean ropes us all in And is why there is rusted metal And this is why there's bloodied soil This is why we are all alone Before us, it had already begun And this is why there's heart attacks This is why there's endless panic This is why there's always pain That will never, ever end A thin black line rusting red Abuses burrowing in the grain This scorched-earth approach Isn't the antidote we're looking for A thick red line graying black Swirling around in a labyrinth This scorched-earth approach Isn't the antidote we're looking for Wearing tin armor doesn't protect you from reality So stop pretending Maybe someday we'll get it Saturnalia in a ball pit (I really am the antagonist) The distance between us did him no favors Neither did my indecisiveness I can't talk on the phone any longer I didn't want it to go like this I really am the antagonist The train barrels through time and space Feels like we're standing on the edge of emptiness I know he's better off without me I just want him to be happy I know that doesn't make me the protagonist I really am the antagonist This is a pretty awful conversation Actually, no; scratch that It's the worst I've ever had There have been times in the past Where I have gotten cold And started shaking for no real reason This is that except tenfold, with meaning I feel my blood run ice cold Someone has kicked me in the balls, punched my stomach, torn open my heart, and pinched every nerve This is what it feels like to die inside I am convinced There is nothing worse than this I could live a thousand lifetimes And this will stay with me, deep within Far beyond the likes of reincarnation This dead soul is fundamentally broken I don't really know if I mean what I say But I'm overwhelmed by desperation I will grasp at every straw in the world If it means stopping the bomb before it goes off If it means shooting baby Hitler in the face

There is only pain There is only pain There is only pain, here There is only pain (There is only pain...here) There is only pain, here There is only pain, here (It hurts...it hurts so much...) There is only pain (Iroyas, Ikustan, Iruy, Akinom) (There is only pain...here) (There is only pain...here)

about

LP.

"Bryan Charnley (1949 – 1991) was an artist whose work vividly portrays the effects of schizophrenia. While experiencing many of the classic symptoms of this mental disorder Charnley was able to produce a coherent visual and written record of his experiences. His work provides a bridge into an interiorised existential state."
