Pleasant Pain

(words and music by Jason Mracky)

(arranged by square)

I was raised in a pleasant pain

It’s safe to say I had no innocence

Four inch walls surround my brain

Sometimes things could get so intense

I often wondered where I’d be

I never know which path that I should take

Standin’ in my misery

Destiny meets me and I meet fate

Oh and the sympathy slips right…

Slips right from my hand

Oh and I’m holdin’ on so tight

I feel I missed my chance

To make my final stand

I want to live a life that’s real

I want to see the things I know you’ve seen

I want to see life through eyes

I want to see the things I’ve only dreamed

Young and wild I’m on the run

Moving silent in my angry stride

To find the man inside of me

To find the man I know I cannot hide

Oh and pity it pours out

From my bleeding heart

Yes I’m the martyr of sadness

I just don’t fit the part

I need a brand new start

You got to know it

You got to know it’s real

You got to show it

You got to try to feel

You got to take it

You got to get it back

You got to know it

You got to live

(repeat first verse and first chorus)
