lyrics

Thriving is dying anyway
Ripping through life at what a pace
Mourning these things that didn't play
Out quite like you thought they would, you trace

Ancient striations on the face
Of long desert rocks, you're getting strange
Light harmonies bouncing off your face
The morning sun rocking through the trees

Love is my pain
Love is my pain
Love is my pain
Love is my pain

Feeling the drones of these times
[As they] wash o’er your body, dark and wise
You wish you had held it in your eyes
Let things lose their focus, melt in time

Inside the blue club and on the street
A hot desert smoke [I] long to keep
It passes my lungs into the deep
Far reaches of dying, living free

Love is my pain
Love is my pain
Love is my pain
Love is my pain
Love is my pain
Love is my pain
Love is my pain

You could feed the disguise / Hold court with the guys
But it’s only our eyes / You could make out this time [of night]
In the red city lights / On this dark summer night
We are closest to dying / We’re screaming, teeth shining
To the people just rising / The laughter’s like crying

Love is our pain
Love is our pain
Love is our pain
Love is our pain
Love is my pain
Love is my pain
Love is my pain
Love is my pain

In No Masters in Paradise, the form of the songwriter’s ballad, in the hands of an expert, is turned inward for comfort, resisting the base lure of worldly approval. ... more
