Pain Is Essence

from Ambitious Foreign Album Title by L. Mounts

/

lyrics

I try to sleep
You get in my dreams
Remove yourself
Immediately
I can't have you running
Through my head
Don't leave your footprints
At the top of my bed

I'm serious
I don't like thoughts
That contain you
And your presence
Leave me be
You have caused
So much pain
Pain is essence

You're a hallucination
Not caused by insanity
Nothing to do with intoxication
Just anti-vanity
Your smile is destructive
You've got looks that kill
Thank god it was a near death experience for me
Baby, take a look at my hospital bill

I'm delerious
You know you can't buy love
But I can give you a raincheck
For an eternal present
Leave me be
You have caused
So much pain
Pain is essence

Dressed in white
Arms tied up
On the verge of dying
Completely fucked
You made this happen
Everlasting illusion
What the hell am I supposed to do
In this padded institution?

I'm curious
Yet I know it all
But I don't have the answer
For when you call
Leave me be
You have caused
So much pain
Pain is essence
