Past Pain

These flowers could be broken bones
This shoreline could be shattered glass
The moment then repeats again
This feeling may forever last
This sunlight could be poison rain
And all that's lost, we can't regain

Without the will to smile or frown
To play the king or act the clown
To leave this room or burn it down
To cry or laugh, to fly or drown
No sign of life yet no bloodstain
No, I'm past pain

Past pain
A shadow that lingers
A tear in the night
Past pain
A silence that deepens
The absence of light
And so long ago
I had hoped there was
Maybe one better day
But that's all in vain
It's lost
Past pain
Oh, past pain

This Moon could be a ball of dust
This bed could be a funeral pyre
And what has gone excludes me from
That distant land they call desire
When all is lost all that remains
Is I'm past pain

You lock yourself below the place
Where woes can grow or hearts can ache
No spirits rise in ecstasy

Past pain
A scar that still whispers
This void of a soul
Past pain
A wound that reopens
A story untold
Past pain
The pain of tomorrow
The stain of today
Past pain
The weight of old sorrow
Is making me stay

I cannot taste the bittersweet
I cannot feel my own heart beat
I can't be sure that I still breathe
I'm certain though I can't believe
In anything, but don't complain
For I am past pain
