IO - The Pain Game : The Aftermath Lyrics

Believe
In Me
Like I Believe in You
Look at Me
Now you’re free
Made it out of the pain game as of today

For the time I’ve spent upon a path so few would tread
It finally came to something more than I could have ever dreamt
I never questioned why I wanted to make this
I guess I knew deep down I had to
To break the cycle that continued on repeat
Had to break that pattern of the endless strained monotony
It was doing no good for my sanity
And it nearly killed me

I could see my life slipping away
I could see the light beginning to fade
No matter how much effort I had put in to save it
I lost more time than I’d care to admit
I lost more friends that I’ll never forget
All for more empty promises

It so sadistic Sociopathic Psychosomatic
I am the one they couldn’t handle
Forget sentimental
Tried to use me then threw me away just like the rest
They wouldn’t listen
More concerned with the friction
Be-cause I saw through the petty little lies that I despise

Believe
In Me
Like I Believe in You
Look at Me
Now you’re free
Made it out of the pain game as of today

It never made much sense
Why work on false pretence
So over burned with the pain
No end in sight again
But I still have my force of will
I won’t take it standing still
There was clearly more to know
Frustration overload

I could see my life slipping away
I could see the light beginning to fade
No matter how much effort I had put in to save it
I lost more time than I’d care to admit
I lost more friends that I’ll never forget
All for more empty promises

It so sadistic Sociopathic Psychosomatic
I am the one they couldn’t handle
Forget sentimental
Tried to use me then threw me away just like the rest
They wouldn’t listen
More concerned with the friction
Be-cause I saw through the petty little lies that I despise

And I will not be denied

I won’t be their victim
Or be a part of their rotten system
I’ll never forgive I won’t forget it
Why promise something when you never meant it

So long and good riddance

Tell me what’s real
All they did was lie and steal
Their words were just that
Empty rhetoric and that’s a fact
How do they sleep at night?
Holding their loved ones so tight?
I wish them the worst
As I hold on to the best
Of me

Come get some

With no resolve
Their power dissolved
Into thin air

I am the input and the output
I’m the thing that they’ve been craving
I’m the one they’re always needing
And they made the mistake of trying to take what I’d made
Bad call

They can’t take away what they dint create
I’m free
I’m free
Finally I’m free
