The writhing in your soul reminds you Of the complacency you now rue And the apathy of many a man Is the hard lesson you must quickly learn While you wallow endlessly in your sorrow Every other man looks forward to the morrow They move on; after careless words spoken They move on; leaving you heartbroken Sleepless nights of mental despair Remind you of the cruelty of human nature And your difficulty in waking Is the first sign that you're breaking

The smell of pain!
The writhing in your soul reminds you Of the complacency you now rue And the apathy of many a man Is the hard lesson you must quickly learn While you wallow endlessly in your sorrow Every other man looks forward to the morrow They move on; after careless words spoken They move on; leaving you heartbroken Sleepless nights of mental despair Remind you of the cruelty of human nature And your difficulty in waking Is the first sign that you're breaking
