The endurance of pain has been breeched
and everyone has seemed to fade
restraining my thoughts from destruction
I am awaiting that sweet relief
though I am told it won't come
racing thought these old pages
my restless brain isn't finding the word
take it steady and breath in deep
sit sober that sweet pain
drink every drop of the relief
that will never come
this is what you must
take the oxygen with blood
and wait
hold it close never let it go
the endurance of pain is yours
and the relief is never going to come
it is yours for the keeping
