I see pain in the way that your hands shake
I hear pain in the cracks when your voice breaks
I thought that pain was love and I couldn't make it safe
Now I know, you know, I know, you know pain
Pain is vanished under mosses and molds
In undulations within every atoll
You gave me the piece that might have made you whole
Ashamed, shamed, shamed, now I know pain
I know the name of the one who is to blame
Who proposed this sentiment that we should entertain
To walk before the babblin' brooks from which we came
No rain, rain, rain, no; just pain
I thought that your words were reflections of me
And mirrored that which I took personally
And the result, which I am sorry to see
Is you know, I know, you know, I know pain
I watched as your breath rose and fell into sleep
I listened as your sighs were beckoning me
Now, I forgive you, I won't ask anything
No claim, claim, claim, and no pain
I am the same as this one who is to blame
For setting the future of our crossing paths aflame
Will you please forgive me if I don't think it was in vain?
No name, name, name, no; just pain
I hope the bitter dew will turn summer-sweet
I hope where forests end, that some other fields will meet
And I hope meandering will lead you to the sea
Untrain, train, train until no pain
No rain, rain, rain, no more pain
No chains, chains, chains, and no pain
No more shame, no more pain
