There’s gotta be more ‘Cause this life is insane Gotta turn this around And find the purpose for pain. There’s so much to lose Yeah, there’s so much at stake Gotta turn this around And find the purpose for pain
“Purpose for Pain”, Scott Stapp
A signature that opens doors
Dictator of democracy
Systemic adolescence
I am asking my trusted adults for help
As despair knocks on my door
Will this suffering end?
I knew this would happen
Being a teacher in LA
Choosing to put my soul
Into a meat grinder
The only way to
Transform the meat grinder
Into a blender? An oven?
I had escaped the meat grinder before
Took the bits of me
And covered them with
Sparkle
With lots of love and reflection
I became whole again,
Called to transform
What almost destroyed me
And now it almost destroys me again
Almost destroys me
I sit at the edge of the cave
Darkness on one side
Light on the other
I choose light
Choose truth
Choose hope
The blood has been spilled
Tears have been shed
What’s left?
Purpose for pain.
