Lyrics No Pain, No Pain - Calm., Time, AwareNess

No Pain, No Pain

Being straight edge ain’t easy but it’s fun for the girls
They get to watch me tweak out in front of train light rides as I float above
the world
Eyes glazed lights shine tonight’s fine
I feel the pressure in my ear
My legs numb so are my problems
I feel like running, now I’m staring at the stars
I’m flying with the mosquitoes, take my picture I love you
My molars still got your taste
I found you in a gum box, washed you down with a milkshake
I used to hate you but after I got out of the hospital we made up
Last week we had an affair our happiness was chemical, tonight’s the break up
Goodbye, I won’t miss you much, except for your manikin happiness and dear in
the headlight touch
When I first met you, you made me sick to my stomach and dizzy
Now you just make me talk too much and move me like I have Tourettes
Save your regrets they haven’t invented time machines yet
Lie to yourself, it’ll make you feel better
You know, anything that feels too good can be an addiction
Drugs are smooth, love is rough, repetition is friction
You weren’t human, I couldn’t kill you with fists, knives, bombs, or pistols
You followed me everywhere from Golden to San Francisco
You snuck on the airplane and came to all of my shows
You used to take away my pain now you just leave me stoned and froze
We used to spin around and stare at the lights together
I remember you used to brag cause you made me feel better
When you convinced a little straight edge skinny kid to take a drag
But you’re a swindler, you killed Joplin, Jimmy, and Morrison
I heard you even used to be Rush Limbaugh’s friend
And I know you’re still mad about last week when I told you, give me back my
dignity you fucking thief
You happiness was artificial, pot makes you paranoid, you made me feel safe
But you’re not taking me nowhere, you’re not doing nothing for me because
you’re fake
You’re not real, you just liked me cause I liked you
Fuck that and fuck you
This song’s not about girls
And this song’s not about pills
This song’s not about drugs
This song’s about love
This song’s about nothing
You read me like a book and then you burned me
Only problem I had with that, I was holding the lighter, how concerning
I couldn’t see you, you were stuck in my mind so writing was the only way I
could fight you
So I ran away in the middle of the night and wrote a shit load of sober haiku,
cause I could never in my life let my mouth marry a hurt like you
We were engaged but watch the fiance die when I finish this page
Every time you came around you gave me the chills and made me shiver
You weren’t jagged baby, but my doctor told me you were cutting up my liver
You were that orchid that I found in the orchard then you told me you were the
grasshopper the little boys used to torture
Then I saw you as a weed who smelled like mint
Then you bloomed and I found out you were a magnolia drunk off your own scent
You’re a scavenger, you made my eyes shine like a jackal’s does
Let the CIA handcuff me, cry over me all you want, I’ll sit there sober until
the shackles rust
Cause now days, the only thing I pop is my collar like count Dracula
I was the only one that could kill you and that was by not using you
Now I’m as cold as a turkey, sorry for abusing you
I acted like I loved you, now you think I hate you
I don’t, I just don’t need you, sorry for confusing you
This song’s not about girls
And this song’s not about pills
This song’s not about drugs
This song’s about love
This song’s about nothing
