It’s the pain that never goes away
The gnawing in bottom of your gut
No pill can ever subside the ache
The feeling they will all find out

It’s the fire in the back of your mind
Making you light-headed and dizzy
The parasite that eats you alive
They all know, does he?

It’s the phone call you don’t want to take
It’s the paralyzing fear
The explanation you don’t want to make
To watch the condescending sneer

It’s the judgment you don’t want to hear
The bed you don’t want to lie in
The hangman’s noose swinging near
The secret to pre-dawn crying

It’s the price you never want to pay
The reason it's easier to stay alone
The thorn in your side that won’t go away
The reminder your soul has been sold
