Chemical Chains

All I feel is pain
All I feel is pain
Looking for the vein
Just a human stain

All I feel is pain
All I feel is pain
Ripping out my brain
Every day the same

All I feel is pain
All I feel is pain
Looking for the vein
Just a human stain

All I feel is pain
All I feel is pain
Ripping out my brain
Every day the same
Injected deep to the core
Night's dark horse, I ride once more
Feasting on remnants left behind
Tempting relapse, a battle to bind

All I feel is pain
All I feel is pain
Looking for the vein
Just a human stain

All I feel is pain
All I feel is pain
Ripping out my brain
Every day the same

All I feel is pain
All I feel is pain
Seeking to reclaim
Beyond endless bane

All I feel is pain
All I feel is pain
Numbing empty drain
A relentless chain

Piercing deep into the soul's core
Direct conduit, seeking more
Laid-out cards, fate's design
Searching for a signal, glimpse divine

Crawling low upon earth's floor
Sinking 'til submerged, forevermore
Must find an exit from this grip
Break the cycle from this bad trip

Numbness beckons, a solace craved
Curling inwards, in darkness enslaved
Flushed away, into the unknown
A descending light, a life re-shown

Beyond the surface, a soul set free
Gathering strength, as shadows flee
A phoenix rises from despair's domain
Renewed by scars, no longer in chains

All I felt was pain
All I felt was pain
Finally dropped this chain
Starting fresh again

All I felt was pain
All I felt was pain
I've been freed of shame
Never be the same

All I felt was pain
All I felt was pain
Fire to sustain
Breaking mental claim

With each dawn, a change
No longer estranged
Life that's rearranged
I'm no longer afraid
