Song Lyrics

Pain is over, no one's to take the blame?
We believed in roses, but then the thorns remained

When I look into the rear view mirror
We create and we destroy
But I've run into a street with a dead end
Walk up that stairway to jump off into the black
Here we go

We go all the way, do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before, was it all wasted again?
We go all the way, do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before, was it all just wasted time?

Maybe I am different, maybe I'm a fool
I wonder if it's worth it, trying to find another you
And I look into the rear view mirror
Just to see how fucked I look
While I travel on that street with a dead end
Like a moth to the flame
It's gonna suck me into pain
Still we go

We go all the way, do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before, was it all wasted again?
We go all the way, do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before, was it all just wasted time?

What are we heading for?
What do I dare again?
Once beaten, twice shy
And still we haven't learned

So here I'm lying
Pleasure (something) pain
Solitary loner ("redundancy I guess")
I know that life is just a game
But nobody gets out alive

Shattered and shocked from life
No happy man gets out alive
Need to rough up you will see

We go all the way, do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before, was it all wasted again?
We go all the way, do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before, was it all just wasted time?
