lyrics

Pain, I'll always be friends with pain,
We're one and the same,
I'll never leave it's clutches again.

Respite, I tried to make friends with respite,
It said oh not tonight,
The timing wasn't right.

Mercy, I tried to make friends with mercy,
She said we'll have to see,
I felt she spoke insincerely.

Happiness, I tried to rekindle things with happiness,
It said I wasn't missed,
I'm no longer on its list.

Joy, what do I do to bring back joy?
Joy acted kind of coy,
Hadn't seen me since I was a boy.

Comforting arms, I tried to receive love from comforting arms,
But those arms had their qualms,
I raised all their alarms.

Yet pain, will always be my friend,
We're married 'til the end,
There's nothing left to transcend.
