Stop the pain
Stop the pain
Stop the pain
Stop the pain
I've got to stop the paaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn

I cut myself years ago
On a chasmic blade of dissolution
At the end of a dead end street

Somewhere in life I took a wrong turn
Instead of reversing I just kept going
Long after tossing my dreams in the gutter

Life became futile and without meaning
Only touching on the fringes of my hopes
Leaving me shallow with a hollow soul

Soon I was handcuffed to money
Locked deep inside greed's prison
Where I choked on rapacious dollars

Inside an 8 hour day lockaway
That ravenously ate irreplacable time
Right out of my unconscious hands

Bleed out the pain
Bleed out the pain
Bleed out the pain
Bleed out the pain
I've got to bleed out the paaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn

I cut myself today
To bleed away the nocuous pain
That has seeped inside my soul

I need to bleed it out my veins
Bleed out my hidden emotions
That keep me veiled in darkness

I'm going to let all my sorrows
Tidal wave into a emotional flood
Create a crimson pool of blood

Familiarity's bred contempt within the mundane
Fear and loathing permeate the remains of the day
Don't know how my life got this way (once again)

All I remember is a chorus of chasmic voices
Lulling me into a mind numbing trance
Lulling me into a space where only ghosts dance

Let go of the pain
Let go of the pain
Let go of the pain
Let go of the pain
I've got to let go of the paaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn

I'm not going cut myself again
I'll search my mind for another way
To deal with life's ongoing pain

So when my shadow deceives me
When it tries to bring me down
When it tries to break me down

I can stop myself before the blade
Feels the face of my skin
Before it breaks through my vein

Maybe the Buddha's hand can save me
When life spins back into panic mode
Leaving me punch-drunk with despair

Inside a capitalistic system of no return
That leaves us destitute in the whole of the sum
When Wall Street's day is over and done

Stop the pain
Stop the pain
Stop the pain
Stop the pain
I've got to stop the paaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn
