Precious Pain Lyrics

Everybody's got a hunger

 No matter where they are

 Everybody clings to their own fear

 Everybody hides some scar

 

 Precious pain

 Empty and cold but it keeps me alive

 I gave it my soul so that I could survive

 Keeping me safe in these chains

 Precious pain

 

 Everybody's got a reason

 To abandon their plan

 How can I think of tomorrow

 With my sorrow in hand

 

 Precious pain

 Empty and cold but it keeps me alive

 I gave it my soul so that I could survive

 Keeping me safe in these chains

 Precious pain

 

 Each road that I walk down

 Reminds me of you

 This whole town is haunted

 There'll never be anything new

 

 Precious pain

 Empty and cold but it keeps me alive

 I gave it my soul so that I could survive

 Keeping me safe in these chains

 Precious pain
