Thank You, Pain

Thank You, Pain - The Agonist

Written by：The Agonist

So lowly criminal

Please tell me how do you plead

Now honorable judges ladies gentlemen of the jury

Please allow me to present my case

Ha what case can you possibly present

To rip a man from his family faith and friends

Defense

Listen before you convict you see

I never did intend to ruin anything

Intent is a guilty conscience's white flag against pride

So I find you guilty of the crimes

I know although I don't believe

It's not only my afterlife I bereave

Appeals will be denied

The line of duty calls for enforcement of laws

So you're our property now

Intelligence has failed you somehow

Oh what a shame you play this game

Through senses what can we explain

Not joy not guilt not pain

Is love the same

This senseless argument in vain

Erodes my sense of shame

Who's to blame

Thank you pain for crippling my body

God bless suffering

Thank you pain for freeing my brain

For preventing me from returning to the source again

So it shall be

Now do you see the error of your ways

Of rats and men you speak

Standing up tall but you are weak

A smiling thief

We are all murderers you see

But you let taboo human chemistry blind your needs

Live is greed logic won't concede

Think about the statistics you feed

Think before you plead

Through senses what can we explain

Not joy not fear not pain

Is love the same

This reckless argument in vain

Erodes my sense of shame

Who's to blame

Thank you pain

God bless suffering

Thank you pain

For preventing me from returning to the source again
