Maybe it's the moonshine
Making steel cuts of the grain
A noir scene at midnight
Smell of asphalt
After rain
Maybe
It's my thoughts
Chugging smooth over your memory
No hitch or shudder to the train
Like Bogart
In the shadows
I am henpecked
By black crows
Maybe I... I
Just miss the pain
So I walk
Midnight hunched
Crunching leaves beneath me
A stroll in lover's chains
Eucalyptus
Musk and moonlight
I pretend
To feel her eyes
But I know
It's just a stenciled mountain range
All my life I've sought these moments
I'm so special while estranged
A hero of discontent in my own mind
Good god, I miss the pain
Because without it
Is there an artist?
Or just a man without complaint
I could paint
In all the colors
Now I... I
Miss the pain
I see you there
In that blue terry robe
I feel nothing at all
Oh where did it go?
All my life I've sought these moments
I'm so special while estranged
A hero of discontent in my own mind
Good god, I miss the pain
Because without it
Is there an artist?
Or just a man without complaint
I could paint
In all the colors
Now I... I
Miss the pain
