Pain- Three Days Grace
Pain without love
Pain without love, that's what started this war. One man had pain, but never the love to tell him it would be better. And soon he was killing others because they had something he didn't.
Pain, I can't get enough
When pain is all you know and all you understand, it doesn't matter if you feel more, because you can't get enough to die. Curses can make you scream, but no curse can kill you and make the pain go away.
Pain, I like it rough,
Pain is what marks you as alive. If you don't feel pain, you aren't there anymore. By the time it was in full swing, no one cared if they were hurt...at least they were alive to feel it.
'Cause I'd rather feel pain then nothing at all
The creeping numbness. The realization, they're gone, without the grief to come with it. The mindless knowledge that those men- those men were the ones that you had to kill, but without a why. Every time these people were seen, everyone else pulled back. That could have been me. That almost was...The pain was what kept them running, because it meant they weren't broken yet.
You're sick of feeling numb,
Some of them had gotten numb to the pain. Oh? She died. Ok. They didn't feel passion anymore. they knew to take down Voldemort. Why? Umm...And they were tired of it. they knew everyone else didn't realize it. But they were numb, and sick of it.
you're not the only one
Everyone was feeling it soon, the numbness that left them able to cope again. The numbness that was so welcoming instead of the pain, until the numbness was all that they could feel.
I'll take you by the hand,
Death came. Death took away the numbness and let them feel again. Death was good. Why wouldn't it be? Death was good.
and I'll show you a world you can understand
The afterlife, a world with emotions and no way that you can lose them. No pain. No loss. It was perfect for the war torn souls. They only wished they'd gone sooner.
This life is filled with hurt
Life, with it's ups and downs. Love and hate, everything is paired, and it seems that their lives just happen to get the bad parts more often in this war. Maybe if they push through, they'll see the light.
When happiness doesn't work
They tried celebrating birthdays still, but every time, someone says something. "I remember when He made an exploding cake."... "He would have been 21 next week."...Anything to remember the dead. They couldn't celebrate when everyone went home in tears. Again.
Trust me, and take me hand
Death was there again...he always came back for Harry, but Harry always said no...something else wanted him to stay, and he doesn't disappoint...he doesn't disappoint those relying on him...
When the lights go out you'll understand
Darkness falls again, and they can forget the war for a few moments, before the attack.. Before they are told, again, that they're needed and someone has died.
Pain without love
Everyone they love is dead, dying, or changed. Is it still worth fighting for?
Pain, I can't get enough
People were being tortured for sadists amusement.
Pain, I like it rough,
No one could last a day without being injured because of the increasing fatalities calling amateurs to battle.
'Cause I'd rather feel pain then nothing at all
But they were still there. And the other side. And people would rather be hurt in battle then be numb.
Pain without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough,
'Cause I'd rather feel pain then nothing at all
Rather feel pain then nothing at all...even if the pain breaks them and will never leave...rather feel pain...isn't that strange?
Anger and agony are better then misery
Look around, what will you see? Bitterness. Anger. Sadness. Grief. Misery. Pain. Agony. Now look at the next person and you'll see the same things.
trust me, I've got a plan,
The leaders never planned. He never thought ahead. Which could be why, when he died for them, he was smiling. "Trust me..."
When the lights go up, you'll understand,
That was a hard fight. They nearly lost...but there was a plan. They had a plan. They had a plan.
Pain without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough,
'Cause I'd rather feel pain then nothing at all
Rather feel pain then nothing at all...but the war is over. Houses are safe. Stores reopened. Rather feel pain over the loss then pass it by. Yes...Still...Rather feel pain...
Pain, without love,
Pain, I can't get enough.
Pain, I like it rough,
'cause I'd rather feel pain then nothing
rather feel pain
Rather feel pain...Can I feel pain anymore? Can I recognize it? Rather feel pain...
I know,
...Someone that died...
I know,
...Someone who's life will be forever changed...
I know,
...Someone who lost the one that they loved most...
I know,
...Someone who went crazy in their grief...
I know,
...that I'm not innocent anymore...
that you're wounded
I know that you were there.
(You know, you know, you know, you know,)
That I'm here to help you. That I've seen what haunts you.
That I'm here to save you,
No one can save you but yourself. I'm here to help you do that.
(You know,
What you saw during the war is something you'll remember, forever. And only you know it.
you know,
What you felt when you killed someone, was something only you will know. But you will remember, forever.
you know,
What happened when no one else was there, is something you'll know. You'll feel responsible, you'll cry, you'll blame everyone...but you know they didn't do it.
you know,)
What the scars mean to you, are entirely different then what they mean to anyone else. This scar means you weren't fast enough. That scar means you were too weak to hold the shield anymore. But Someone else told you something different, didn't they? They said that this scar meant you were brave enough to be in battle. That scar means you were unharmed until the end, and that you ran out of power protecting.
I'm always here for you
If you want to tell me what you know now, I'll listen. I'll listen you you forever.
(I know, I know, I know, I know, I know)
That you'll thank me later
You might not want to thank you, might not want to know me at all, after the war. We survived. We're the survivors...
Pain without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough,
'Cause I'd rather feel pain then nothing at all
Pain without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough,
'Cause I'd rather feel pain then nothing at all
So...why do I feel like I should have died?
Rather feel pain then nothing at all,
rather feel pain
A/N This song is too long. If I thought I could cut it off halfway through, i'd have done it...but I don't think that I could have. I still like it.
