His twisted ankle hurts
But he forces himself to keep running
He hates the pain, but loves the pain
The pleasure of it all is stunning

A needle pokes a hole
And a knife leaves a gash
The flame burns the flesh
As his cigaret begins to ash

When he's caught up in the euphoria
He feels he can accomplish any feat
Run a thousand miles, or swim to distant isles
But he's still sitting in his seat

A painting can be beautiful
Perhaps the most beautiful thing you'll find
But so can a wound as deep as your sorrow
If you posses his state of mind

A Painfull State of Mind

Inhale

His twisted ankle hurts
But he forces himself to keep running
He hates the pain, but loves the pain
The pleasure of it all is stunning

A needle pokes a hole
And a knife leaves a gash
The flame burns the flesh
As his cigaret begins to ash

When he's caught up in the euphoria
He feels he can accomplish any feat
Run a thousand miles, or swim to distant isles
But he's still sitting in his seat

A painting can be beautiful
Perhaps the most beautiful thing you'll find
But so can a wound as deep as your sorrow
If you posses his state of mind

Exhale
