Blood is the rose of mysterious union.
We hide ourselves in our music to reveal ourselves
You feel your strength in the experience of pain.
Lets just say I was testing the bounds of reality.
All our lives we sweat and save, Building for a shallow grave.
Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain.
