*Author's note: This was based on an extreme migraine I had, and I actually wrote this while I was having it. The inspiration just came to me, but honestly I wouldn't wish a migraine on anyone. Hope you enjoy!*

Is this the only pain I know?

Blurry eyes, unsteady, with a dry throat

Headaches will hurt me till I'm low

I-I-I-I've got a headache

and the waves will go crashing in my brain

thanks to the pain that'll always be better than sanity

Cause sanity ain't worth the knowledge

I don't know why it always seems so dim

The weathermen predicting my moods are grim

Whether it's being insane with a migraine or the craziness of life

Sometimes my sense of direction's so full of strife

Let it be known that what the pounding shows

Is me defending friends and foes

Is me pretending what I know

Being tested by the waves of pain

That's represented best by course of crashing seas

I do not have drugs or pills they just hate me being still

It will not let me die guess I'll die in my sleep

And sometimes sleep seems better than the headache running deep

Is this the only pain I know?

Blurry eyes, unsteady, with a dry throat

Headaches will hurt me till I'm low

But I know, I've made it this far, kid

Yeah yeah yeah

I am not as sane as I seem

Pardon, me for getting super sick and green

guardin'

My heart from what's growing inside, it's an eyestrain

A difficult headache feasting on hurt and methane

Freeze pain, please let me go headaches aren't a benefit

Something I won't forget, it's all about pain I admit

And how it is a war that holds back consequence

That uses common sense makin' it look intense

Behind my headache are storms of silence

My body ship-wrecked this is the only space my mind assigned

I did not see it was such a brutal haven

Full of nausea waves, suicidal crazed humans

They're trying to scar me, hate pouring down again

And I know that I can't fight, and I will let them all win

I begin to assess the pain that has aligned

Cause sometimes to end the hurt you gotta intertwine

Is this the only pain I know?

Blurry eyes, unsteady, with a dry throat

Headaches will hurt me till I'm low

But I know, I've made it this far, kid

And I will say that we should take some time to end this pain

To break away from violent rain, the struggle's not played alone

And keep it aching and know headaches are a piercing cyclone

Is this the only pain I know?

Blurry eyes, unsteady, with a dry throat

Headaches will hurt me till I'm low

But I know, I've made it this far, kid

Made it this far

Made it this far
