PAIN PUSHES ME ON
Ben Lowy / Radney Foster / Jay Clementi

I wear the hands of God upon my skin
On the outside to remind me what’s within
I’ve been stabbed bombed and battered
Trying to shoot what matters
So I pick up my camera once again

Pain hurts but it hurts worse
Not to feel anything at all
I’ve been lost in the silence
I find me in the violence
And I have chased it all around the world
There’s a side of me that feels like it’s wrong
But I’ll run down this dream until I’m gone
While the pain pushes me on
Pushes me on

I’ve wrestled my way out of what I’ve seen
The trouble in my soul’s bought me my dreams
Sitting still is nothing I do well
A normal life feels like hell
So I roll ‘round this world looking for me
Searching for the me that I should be

Pain hurts but it hurts worse
Not to feel anything at all
I’ve been lost in the silence
I find me in the violence
And I have chased it all around the world
There’s a side of me that feels like it’s wrong
But I’ll chase down this dream until it’s gone
While the pain pushes me on
Pushes me on

I want to let go but don’t know how
Am I defined by my past
Are these images a part of me now
Pain hurts but it hurts worse
Not to feel anything at all
I’ve been lost in the silence
I find me in the violence
And I have chased it all around the world
There’s a side of me that feels like it’s wrong
But I’ll run down this dream until I’m gone
While the pain pushes me on
Pushes me on
While the pain pushes me on
On and on
