Wish I could numb the pain with another cigarette
Another belt of moonshine bourbon whiskey instead
Can't perceive feelings, can't perceive pain
Inner turmoil is pulling me apart
Oh lord, have mercy on my soul
Oh lord, have mercy on my soul
Transcendence of pain
Wish I could stop the flood of recurring déjà vu's
Recurring memories of expectations we'd live up to
Can't perceive joy, can't perceive love
Withdrawal of affection is tearing me apart
Oh lord, have mercy on my soul
Oh lord, have mercy on my soul
Transcendence of pain
Lost at sea, no seagulls in sight
Sun on my skin, surrounded by the night
I'm down on my knees, Lord I'm awestruck
Rain is falling, drops of bad luck
Oh they're falling down like bad luck
I can't sleep, so I go for a walk,
That's right up my alley, all night long
No dreams today, no sleep tonight,
There is no game, that I want to play
Am I dead or am I alive? Tell me Mr. will I survive?
I miss my life, I miss my levity, I miss my freedom, I miss my love
There ain't life, there ain't freedom, there ain't mercy on my soul
Oh lord, have mercy on my soul
Oh lord, have mercy on my soul
Oh lord, have mercy on my soul
Oh lord, have mercy on my soul
Transcendence of pain
Of pain
