Cycles of Pain

Round and round the needle spins

Threads of sorrow

Where it begins

A shadow whispers

Soft and slow

How many times must I let it go

The mirror cracks but stays the same

Reflections dance

Calling my name

Cycles of pain

They pull me under

Heartache strikes like rolling thunder

I try to break

I try to bend

But it loops again

It loops again

Tides recede

But leave the scars

Counting wounds beneath the stars

The clock ticks loud

It knows my sin

Each second lost

Each moment pinned

If I scream

Will it shatter the chain

If I fall

Will it dull the flame

If I run

Will the echoes remain

Or is this the rhythm

The cycle of pain

Cycles of pain

They pull me under

Heartache strikes like rolling thunder

I try to break

I try to bend

But it loops again

It loops again
