Lyrics The Suffering - Lagwagon

The Suffering

«The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow
sharper
Those who have never known the deep intimacy and the intense companionship of
happy mutual love have missed the best thing that life has to give
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life:
the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the
suffering of mankind.»
All our lives in fast pursuit
Smash and grab like thieves
Posterity.
What will you leave behind?
Consigned
Life, a humbling disease
Believe
Devoted road, the places you will go
All the people you will know
Crossroads
Resolve your actions and your deeds
Echo for eternity
Foresee
Want for contact, need for insight
The unbearable pity for the suffering
How do you express yourself?
How do you tell the truth?
Surrounding you, the darkest points of view
Suffer
In their toxic feedback loop
Hostage
Devoted road, the places I’ve travelled
All of the people I have known
High roads
Full of doubt and certain of nothing
Concede
How humbling my life has been
Begin
Want connection, hunt for knowledge
The unbearable lacking for the suffering
It’s not unusual to lose hope
It’s common to become unhinged
I’m giving in, I’m giving in
Let it begin.
The suffering
