Private Pain

Charlie The Man

I'm the sizzlin' flesh

When the inmate fries

I'm hidden in the scream

When the baby dies

I'm the lump in your throat

Whenever you grieve

And it's such a compliment to me

Through the night, hearing you scream

I am anxiety, pulling your strings

You will succumb to me

I am grief, and happiness I will gain

Whenever I hear your cries

I am pain

Your private pain

I'm the gruesome feeling

Growing in your stomach

I'm the heavy growing thoughts

That are making you sick

And I'm the last look up

When you jump off the bridge

And it makes me happy that I am me

I am anxiety, pulling your strings

You will succumb to me

I am grief, and happiness I will gain

Whenever I hear your cries

I am pain

Yeah

I am anxiety, pulling your strings

You will succumb to me

I am grief, and happiness I will gain

Whenever I hear your cries

I'm the salt in the wound

I'm the sweat on your brow

I'm the one little thing

That's holding you down

I'm the salt in the wound

I'm the sweat on your brow

I'm the one little thing

That's holding you down

[repeat last part over the chorus twice]

I am pain

Your private pain

Oh, I am pain

Your private pain
