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
