Through the Pain - Madina Lake

On the Chicago River after dark

We watch the city lights tear the sky apart

The wind was blowing your hair around

As the scenery explodes, I’ll tell you how

I fell into an old cliche

Always on the road, only halfway sane

No hospital can fix what I’ve become

I’ve trapped myself in a ring of fire

If I say I’m okay, I’m also a liar

The only way out is through the pain

(How am I gonna get through this?)

I got so low that I get high

Just to sit and watch the miles go by

Now I’m cold and sweaty with a nauseous heart

I got a million addictions wearing me down

I fell into an old cliche

Always on the road only halfway sane

No hospital can fix what I’ve become

I’ve trapped myself in a ring of fire

If I say I’m okay, I’m also a liar

The only way out is through the pain

And as I write these words, my hands start to shake

Withdrawls kicking in not a second too late

The only way out is through the pain

(Tomorrow I’ll start again.)

And now I’m begging for help

I know I can’t get

I’ve gotta face this one alone

And if I don’t make it

Remember that I’ll always be a part of you

I’ve trapped myself in a ring of fire

If I say I’m okay, I’m also a liar

The only way out is through the pain

And as I write these words, my hands start to shake

Withdrawls kicking in not a second too late

The only way out is through the pain

Tomorrow I’ll start again
