Where The Pain Don't Show

She disappears now and again
And she makes her way down
To that place we all keep inside
The place where we all drown


She slips into it like a second skin
And once again she's gone
No reason to stay here in our world
When she's all alone


And the needle
Is the home she knows
When times are hard
It's the place she goes
Deep down and low
Where the pain don't show


She's surrounded by it
Everywhere she looks
She can't seem to get away
Disappear for another day


Take a bottle of pills
And numb the wound
It's her future she kills
And it's all too soon


And the needle
Is the home she knows
When times are hard
It's the place she goes
Deep down and low
Where the pain don't show


Some people are busy living
While others are born dying
No excuses and no forgiving
You can't quit unless you're trying


She takes it all in stride
Burns another hole inside
Nothing left, not even pride
Doesn't realize she died


She slips into it like a second skin
And once again she's gone
No reason to stay here in our world
When she's all alone


And the needle
Is the home she knows
When times are hard
It's the place she goes
Deep down and low
Where the pain don't show
