​pain is all we know Phora

[Intro]
Pain is all we've known
[?]
Wouldn't we be better off alone?
Burnin' lights in the sun
Salvation is so close [?]
Darlin', I hope you understand
Yeah (Boy fifty)
Uh

[Verse 1]
When I was young, I was abused as an adolescent
By a man my mother loved, but she was too defenseless
A prisoner inside my home, I never felt protected
The scars and bruises that I wore, they told me, "Just accept it"
Accept the fact that I was helpless, couldn't understand
The pain and trauma as a child, my blood was on his hands
Father nowhere to be found, I tried to be a man
I tried to talk to God, I needed love, it wasn't in His plans
I closed my eyes and try to sleep away the thoughts
But the more I tried to run away from pain, the more it fought
All this anger in my heart, don't let it show, all I was taught
Since then I kept my feelings hidden, locked inside a box
And I started to question if they ever gave a fuck about me
Started to question their intentions and the ones around me
Started to question why this pain is all I know
Maybe I'm better off alone, this world is probably better off without me
