They say pain doesn't hurt when it's all you've ever felt

From as early as I can remember I would always get the belt

Some druggie that ain't my dad hitting me because he's mad

Nothing that I even did it's just easier to beat a kid

I have plenty scars from their blackout nights at the bars

Look deep into my eyes and see the rage I keep inside.

If I could find them today they'd surely meet their demise.

I would happily do life in prison if I could give them even a tenth of the whippin that I was given

I was beaten unconscious like it was his normal daily grind

Had my jaw wired 3 times before the age of 5

I'd step in to save my baby sister or else she wouldn't be alive

Stew that slowly for a few years beyond 40 I'm still looking for my prize

I still have my pride and rage inside once my innocence had died

I really stopped feeling most pain by the time that I was 9.

40 years gone by now I have a metal spine. Fully disabled

Too many times on the table, but still feel like I'm in my prime.

Like a horror movie villain I keep getting to my feet. No real pain call me a freak

Nothing about me is weak be careful how you speak

Pain doesn't hurt when it's all you've ever felt

You can call it absurd, but much like love and hate it's just another 4 letter word.
