Lyrics
Write me a prescription, keep the lonelies at bay
Seeking a remedy to alleviate loneliness
How much of this friction will it take to enflame
Wondering how much conflict is needed to ignite
I don't need a doctor to diagnose pain
Not requiring a doctor to recognize pain
All the pricks and bruises yet somehow we stay
Despite numerous hardships, enduring the situation
When it hurts
During moments of pain
You know how hard
Acknowledging the difficulty
You know how hard
Recognizing the intensity of the challenge
I rub my nose in the dirt
Engaging in self-punishment or self-criticism
And it hurts
Experiencing pain
Started with some pride, all ends in decay
Commencing with pride but concluding in deterioration
Told you I was lying when I said I was brave
Admitting to dishonesty about bravery
There's no silver lining at the end of this page
No hopeful outcome in sight
Life is an affliction, we all get in the way
Life is filled with difficulties that obstruct
When it hurts
During moments of pain
You know how hard
Acknowledging the difficulty
You know how hard
Recognizing the intensity of the challenge
I rub my nose in the dirt
Engaging in self-punishment or self-criticism
And it hurts
Experiencing pain
When it hurts
During moments of pain
You know how hard
Acknowledging the difficulty
You know how hard
Recognizing the intensity of the challenge
I rub my nose in the dirt
Engaging in self-punishment or self-criticism
And it hurts
Experiencing pain
Can't believe I can get so bleak
Surprised by the depth of despair
I don't swing this way, so to speak
Expressing a metaphorical deviation from the norm
And when I bleed, all I see is decay
Seeing decay or deterioration during injury
I don't swing that way
Not experiencing something in a particular way
When it hurts
During moments of pain
You know how hard
Acknowledging the difficulty
You know how hard
Recognizing the intensity of the challenge
I rub my nose in the dirt
Engaging in self-punishment or self-criticism
And it hurts
Experiencing pain
You know how hard
Recognizing the intensity of the challenge
You know how hard
Acknowledging the difficulty
I rub my nose in the dirt
Engaging in self-punishment or self-criticism
And it hurts
Experiencing pain
