Intro:
No more pain, hah not likely
Seems this life is one painful moment after another
Just when you thought you were through the hard rain
Struggling to keep your head above water
Gasping for a single breath of relief
Only for the next wave to hit ya
And that's it
Never letting up
Cycle after cycle
When it rains, it pours
A constant storm
Floods, then fires, then war, then drugs
Epidemics, pandemics, recession, depression
It never stops
The screws are turned tighter and tighter
Until you think you can't take anymore
Til' you think surely the test is over
Well, the test ain't ever over
That's what we aren't told
Light at the end of the tunnel, nah
After all this time, there's still no light
Pressure builds, power is abused still
The cycle of pain, no relief
Nothing from the powers that be
We’re left crushed in a fucking vice
Something's gotta change
But how can I help if I can't help myself?
In over my head
So much I don't know
So much I don't understand
But I know one thing, I won't quit
I'm not rolling over
I won't stay down
No more pain fuck that, more pain
How much you got?
How much you got?
How much you fucking got?
More Pain:
Constant storm an endless war
Floods fires it rains it pours
Every day the same I'm expected to break
No relief the powers that be see what I can take?
A constant storm
More pain how much you got?
More pain the cycle never stops
More pain won't stay down you'll have to kill me
Here I stand despite they've tried
Floods fires I won't
I won't run I won't hide I won't
A constant storm
More pain makes me stronger
The trial to keep my head above water
Made me a beast that can contend with anything
So take your best shot
Cos I know who I am and who I'm not
Just one question left to ask
How much you fucking got?
