Kill the Pain Away

I've been out on the waves, still far from home
Tried to affiliate, kept on sailing all alone
I'd give the best of me but all redemption I can see is a shadow
In the mist of a reverie

Never afraid
Or so we think as we pace the unknown dark
We'd navigate by the whispering wind
And the beat of a heart
And vows would never ever break
As if we'd ever know
What never ever looks like from up close

Worlds imposed and we try to act upon
Oh what have we become

Nobody there to kill the pain away
Assay to slither from the pouring rain
You never know it as you hit the trail
All in vain?
All in vain?

Oh sometimes I wish
All mentation would disappear
Feelings would fade
And so would this blazing fear
Like a grain dancing in the wind
Without steady place
Defer arrival till another day

Worlds imposed and we try to act upon
To wonder what we become

Nobody there to kill the pain away
Assay to slither from the pouring rain
You never know it as you hit the trail
All in vain?
All in vain?

I was gonna hope to choke the fire
I was gonna face up and let go
Oh, I was gonna ally with the golden guising
And by the light of dawn I'd put my brave face on

Nobody there to kill the pain away
Assay to slither from the pouring rain
You never know it as you hit the trail
All in vain?
All in vain?
