Beyond Our Suffering

Beyond Our Suffering - As I Lay Dying

What we see now is only a fraction

Bound to learn the hard way

This is the human condition

There is nothing that can be said

To stop us from making mistakes

When I look to myself

As a source of ending pain

No matter how many times

Before I've failed

It seems our problems

Solve themselves

When we look beyond us

To those truly in hell

The more I focus on myself

Then the more helpless that I become

So why not erase this point of view

My suffering is trivial

Beyond our suffering

Compared to those

Who know real agony

It seems our problems

Solve themselves

When we look beyond us

To those truly in hell

It seems our problems

Solve themselves

When we look

Beyond our suffering

It seems our problems

Solve themselves

When we look

Beyond our suffering go

My trials seem insignificant now

Why won't we look

Beyond us

Why won't we look

Beyond our despair

It seems our problems

Solve themselves

When we look to those

Truly in hell

Personal redemption

Cannot change the world

Unless we lay down our lives

For those who still suffer
