Lyrics
East of Pain
Rändi Fay/Aaron Zinsmeister
I am here, standing eye to eye with you, and locking swords, our pupils wide
Stained with tears, searching for an avenue to disappear and end the fight.
Pressure packed, something cracked, a bolt unscrewed and suddenly we're spiraling,
a reeling dime
Breaking point, I thought that we were shatter-proof, but like a spinning coin
our perfect love has sides
You spit lava, words that burn, at my core, I'm terrified,
Stripped of pride, the tables turn and I explode with fire and ice
We plunge from paradise
Can we be together, east of pain?
Can we make it better, east of pain?
Can we find forever, east of pain, east of pain?
Can we find forever, east of pain?
I have read love is patient, love is kind, but ecstasy demands a price.
On the edge, unaware that love is blind, we shared our souls in sacrifice
Fragile spots, armor lost, a stream of wine as dark as blood flowed carelessly
between your heart and mine
So good it hurt, but too intense to set aside, instead we take our aim and then we crucify
You spit lava, words that burn, at my core, I'm terrified
Stripped of pride, the tables turn and I explode with fire and ice
We plunge from paradise
Can we be together, east of pain?
Can we make it better, east of pain?
Can we find forever, east of pain, east of pain?
Can we find forever, east of pain?
I love you gritty, love you raw
My power surging through our flaws, unintended sabotage.
A hurricane that leaves my heart to drip like rain
(yet) tenderness remains….
Can we be together, east of pain?
Can we make it better, east of pain?
Can we find forever, east of pain, east of pain?
Can we find forever, east of pain?
