Stephen Ray Brown - Pain Demands Attention

He studied hard
He married young
He did his best
To get along

He focused right
He trended left
He kept his eye on
What comes next

What do you need to carry you through
When happiness will not save you

Talking to friends
Telling jokes
Having cocktails
With stand-up folks

He played with his kids
He hugged his wife
He looked for meaning
In his life

He couldn't make the hurt go away
When things went south is hard to say

Pain demands attention
Pain demands attention

Cruel mysteries and clouds
When you're lost and never found
He couldn't cope
We couldn't help

A man, a plan
No more doubts
He had acquired the means
To carry it out

Your blood is ice
You've made your choice
You shouted love
Now they'll hear your voice

We try to keep them safe
Until there's nothing left to explain

Pain demands attention
Pain demands attention
