(Intro)
I feel like I'm finally past some of the worst moments in my life and I'd like to write an ode to pain. Some may believe there's nothing to gain and I might even think the same at time but I'm here to say there's knowledge to gain directly from the pressure put upon you by the pain.
We can move past the pain and that's gotta be the main goal within your brain but you can allow the pain to guide you there and realize there's no need for a shallow fear and to help you take those steps I'll always be right here.
(Verse 1)
We all have to face this darkest pain hidden away deep down inside our brain
We all have to eventually face our own trauma and it ain't always got to involve drama
Shit who the fuck am I kidding because pain is the only method of surviving
We gotta fight our fears in order to conquer these long lost fears
Have you ever been so traumatized that a very voice can make you puke before their eyes?
When a simple voice is so much more than white noise and your blood pressure starts to rise
You feel sick to your stomach and to think of that person even existing I sick
Like damn sometimes I feel so fucking broken but not one word was left unspoken
Seeking a day when I could find a reason to smile and wouldn't even have to walk a mile
Whether physical or metaphorical; folklore so casual or becoming so meta eventual
Losing track of what I'm saying as this inner head song continues playing
There's only so much trauma one can go through before they see a dark world is true
But the pain doesn't have to perpetually cause more of the same because only you can tame
Your own emotions as they seep out or is it burst out without doubt a powerful traumatic ocean
But even through all the words misspoken and the few that were left unspoken I was just hopin'
I could heal one soul so to dig myself out of that hole I wrote this ode in order to feel whole
(Chorus)
This is my ode to pain and how it makes me feel down within my brain
This is our ode to pain so won't you help me sing this refrain?
This is an ode to pain and how it can make you feel strong or drive you insane
This is THE ode to pain, Like damn here we go again
This is my ode to pain and how it makes me feel down within my brain
This is our ode to pain so won't you help me sing this refrain?
This is an ode to pain and how it can make you feel strong or drive you insane
This is THE ode to pain, Like damn here we go again
(Verse 2)
Sometimes I don't wanna try; just lay here at night and cry
My voice has sometimes gone silent when towards my mental people were violent
I've done some things I'll never truly recover when I let the trauma get near
Thoughts of harming thyself had me thinking I was worth myself
But now I'm finally learning to be happy and won't apologize if that sounds sappy
Because I'm the definition of insanity learning to be happy from my past misery
Like now on my bad days I just think of oh so many ways that's I've gone through worse
So now I've grown out of my sad ways and I do think these days that I've broke free of my curse
Now I can be who I'm truly meant to be and learn to be happy with myself finally
So go ahead and call me crazy but you're still welcome here in The Ghostly Society
Where we actually embrace our own insecurity and use our misery like ambidexterity
Meaning I can use the past misery in order to learn how to be happy now and perpetually
Might have an off day or two because I always speak true
But I try my best to overcome each and every challenge on this daily conquest
So I created my own quest and those ode to pain explains the rest
(Chorus)
This is my ode to pain and how it makes me feel down within my brain
This is our ode to pain so won't you help me sing this refrain?
This is an ode to pain and how it can make you feel strong or drive you insane
This is THE ode to pain, Like damn here we go again
This is my ode to pain and how it makes me feel down within my brain
This is our ode to pain so won't you help me sing this refrain?
This is an ode to pain and how it can make you feel strong or drive you insane
This is THE ode to pain, Like damn here we go again
(Verse 3)
Sometimes I have trouble retaining my composure but I'm never entertaining exposure
I try my best to stay honest and pure when we live in a world so dark and impure
Like around every corner it seems there's a dark creature with a new feature
Even the government sanctions torture and that my friend is true and pure horror
So I try to shape the reality around me on a quest for that daily happy
And I've gotten pretty close now thinking to myself how have grown; wow
I mean I'm still not perfect and I never will be but now I'm kinda cool like a hat trilby
I realized that I can be whatever it is that I can see can help to shift my mentality
Have you heard of mentality to reality? Because I believe in it seriously with my spirituality
And I shape the world around me on the basis daily after I learned the basics slowly
So use your past misery to make your so much stronger than ever you could see mentally
It isn't gonna be easy and I won't sugar coat it that you might have a few mental breakdowns
But it's gonna make you queasy if you don't sit down and think about changing those frowns
Let's all work together to take the crown because we all need people around
We can deny it all we like but that's no way to build hype
So just pay attention to what I type and together we can learn how to never give a gripe
