lyrics

What is pain? 
What, is pain?
It’s desire, and hate, and everything great , and everything fate

 It annihilates  an otherwise stable mind state
  It’s bastardly , it’s backstabbing
 It’s dastardly 

And yet somehow, somehow,  
It embraces these scattered shards 
That no one else would ever dare touch

It pierces, it pounces,  it bites, bites
 Leaving fragments, a trail  of your innermost secrets  

And then  shoves you away, hard, hard
 Leaving you marred
 It makes you sacrifice  and spar  for what you believe 
And sometimes don’t  
For what you would never betray 
No matter what the stakes , or what type of crazy it makes 
The lakes between you are no obstacle  

But then you wonder  how you can’t recognize  who you are
 In your own thoughts, anymore

You must leave now 
You turn toward the door 
But then 
You just keep thinking,  you just keep thinking,  you just keep thinking

Of the last time  you tasted her 
The last time your nails stroked  the inside of his thighs 
You were both so high 
He stripped off your knee highs  and all your little alibis  
And how he loves how you ride  the tides of taunting 
And your mind’s relentless haunting 
Of disgusts  and pleasures , of velvet mouths  and treasures 
Of velvet sounds , of treasons and tethers

It’s tortuous toll 
It's seeking bold
 It’s finding your soul 
It’s heartless cold, it’s heartless cold  

It’s a trap 
It’s looming, it’s looming wrath
  
It’s desire  and hate  and everything great  and everything fate 
Damn it
 Love  Is  Affliction
