Joy and Pain Lyrics

Set on a battlefield, disguised as a playground

Most people pass me by to play-round, but never stay down

Or up, I think I might be stuck

In a pattern of feeling closer to Saturn then dropping down where the ants had snuck

On this seesaw for like way too long

And I done seen and saw it all, this world done did me wrong

Sometimes I get up and leave cause I'm not too strong

Every time it's the same old song

Tell me what's going on

My seats are tattered, surprised by now they ain't shattered

My screws chatter, they loose, the screech don't get no bad-er

My handle's rusty, I'll hold my own, I'd rather trust me

The wood creak and click cause you know I like them thick

On the other side, yeah the one who ride

Oh I forgot that's the reason why I'm sick and tired

No matter the one across there is never no solution

I cannot find a way to distribute this distribution

I'm either way in the air, or tucked up in the ground

There's either dirt in your hair, or wind by the pound

And when I look at your stare it's clear we ain't here

Just going through all the motions the ending really near

You see all of this weight little girl

This weight is on us, but the pressure on me

When you down I'm too light, when you up I'm heavy

I cannot relieve your stress so I must set you free

Joy and pain

Joy joy joy joy joy and pain

Joy and pain

Joy joy joy joy joy and pain

Nothing more than a pleasurable ride, but then somehow too nice

A little too tough, way too soft but then way too rough

I'm either way too much or something or just not enough

Ain't this a playground anyway, where I could find my perfect balance out here any day

Think it's ironic that we always focus on my weight, cuz

It seemed like all your intents reflect the same thing the bathroom mirror does

You do not have a clue that this place divides into equal two

Because many come and use me but they all use me in vain

They confuse my whole purpose for their own personal gain

But they never ever get what they all have come to claim

Cuz the forces on each side do not equal out the same

Is this coming clear, am I getting through, do I need to write it out, present it to you, cuz I'm stuck

Whether I'm with you or without you

You might as well just reroute to

Another section for reflection so you see the flaw about you

Cuz right now you don't know how to

When you destined for the best then, you must contest all contestants

Until then I will rest then, my life like a seesaw, no question

But if you love me wish me luck on my quest then

Joy and pain

Joy joy joy joy joy and pain

Joy and pain

Joy joy joy joy joy and pain
