Your Pain Is Mine Songtext

Severed clean by the knife
With every cut so deep
How sound the sheltered sleep
Deaf ears to the ring of the siren's call
I hear they sing in heaven
We'll never hear the song
Your pain is mine
I am you in another life
Your pain is mine
We were one long ago
Before the earth stole our souls
Every god says farewell to their sons
When the bombs come, run
Isolation in a swarm of bullets
Another infant chokes on the halos of smoke
I never saw the truth but now I know it
Consumes our sanity
We've torn apart society

The hand that grasps for life Severed clean by the knife
With every cut so deep
How sound the sheltered sleep
Deaf ears to the ring of the siren's call
I hear they sing in heaven
We'll never hear the song
Your pain is mine
I am you in another life
Your pain is mine
We were one long ago
Before the earth stole our souls

Painted pictures always seem serene
But the reality is much harsher to see
And I need you to know
That help is out of my reach
Or at least believe me
I wished that you'd find peace
But there's no action in a thought
Simply lost at sea
Of undeniable complacency and treachery
And I plead that you were given
Just a chance to be free
Maybe in time, but know I tried
Your pain is mine
Run like your life depends on it
Because one day it will
I'm sorry child
The world wasn't there to pick up the pieces
It never will
