I Needed the Pain - Soft Kill

Boots in the dirt

We were stalling

For the buzz to take us

We’d already paid

Here’s to coming clean

I want to lie to your face

When it’s playful

We’re already saved

Can you trust your mouth

To know that it’s bleach

We’ve been drinking

Cause we’re running out

It’s just mixed with the mud

That’s holding us down

As we’re sinking

In small amounts

It’s true the few I’ve loved keep haunting

It’s something that never will change

The news of those I loved passing

It’s crushing but I needed th pain

Sorry Mom I’m a flirt

Always brushing

Against the stable

Down in the dirt

Thy begged for truth

They weren’t able

To trust like demanding

They be hurt

Watch animals scream

As they’re pulled apart

By something higher

Up In the chain

Tried to save them all

They got lifted

Up to a heaven

Put an end to the fall

It’s true the few I’ve loved keep haunting

It’s something that never will change

The news of those I loved passing

It’s crushing but I needed the pain

I’ve lost more than most

Surrounded here by ghosts

It’s something that never will change

The news of those I loved passing

It’s crushing but I needed the pain
