The Same Pain

I was reading a story about a captain on a ship, before i
 knew it i was bitting my lip in pain, The same pain i felt
 when i found i would never see you again...

And i Drempt i would travel to far away lands, Hands that
 covered my eyes, They lied and they cried for what
 seemed like for ever but never knew pain, The same pain
 i felt when i found i would never see you again...

I went into the music world to get out with out a shout, no
 motion in the heavy weight bout a knew i'd have to face, 
No place to go no words to show the pain i dealt with, The
 same pain i felt when i found i would never see you
 again...

I chased me, Like a bird on a rotisserie basted me, every 
where i ran i found it hounded me, pounded me into the 
ground with every sound and ever breath, And death 
didn't seam so far away, and i could have been dead 
already.

And heavy became my eyelids and they put bids on me to 
see that i shouldn't  survive, stay alive, but weren't they 
surprised when i showed up on their door step_ with you 
on my shoulder.
and farther and farther over the edge i flew and colder
 and harder over time i grew and that pain grew too.
The same pain i felt when i found i would never see you
 again...

And i traveled the world, and unfurled my devotion to you.
and i went deep into jungle to get high, on a train or on a 
park bench. And i had no bread and i had no dough and i 
had no flow and i had no know. but to the county i fled to
 conquer my demons, and leaving me the ability to shine
 broke through and i grew and became the man that you
 see today even though they had the nerve to say what
 they said because in my head i loved them anyway.

and then it happened, so quickly it was masterful, like
Dick Dastardly to Penellopy
 she couldn't see him come up 
on her, and when i turned around and you were staring into my eyes....
 well there you were, And that pain... That pain i say, that pain i say,
That pain i say i felt when i found i would never see you again.........

It went away.
