Suffering Lyrics by Masquerade

Surface of Pain

1994

I am love, I am hate
I destroy, I create
A distinction of animal grace

I attack what I protect
I'm the cure and I infect
A behaviour of true savage race

I suspect what I trust
Remorse what I've lost
What's in reach is the guilt I don't touch

Every pleasure is of pain
Every effort is in vain
It just feels like I'm trying too much

I wonder why I'm still suffering, suffering
Suffering, suffering
I wonder why I'm still suffering, suffering
Suffering, suffering

Suffering, suffering
Suffering, suffering

I am first, I am last
The present and the past
I'm the quieting core of alarm

I'm your enemy and friend
The beginning and the end
All the chaos surrounding the calm

Every truth is a lie
Gotta live, gotta die
One man's wrong is another man's right

Every fact is a belief
Every poet is a thief
And each war is a peacemaker's fight

I wonder why I'm still suffering, suffering
Suffering, suffering
I wonder why I'm still suffering, suffering
Suffering, suffering

I love and hate
I destroy, I create
A distinction of animal grace

I attack what I protect
I'm the cure and I infect
A behaviour of true savage race

I suspect what I trust
Remorse what I've lost
What's in reach is the guilt I don't touch

Every pleasure is of pain
Every effort is in vain
It just feels like I'm trying too much

I wonder why I'm still suffering, suffering
Suffering, suffering
I wonder why I'm still suffering, suffering
Suffering, suffering

I wonder why I'm suffering
I'm suffering
I wonder why I'm still suffering, suffering
Suffering, suffering

Suffering, suffering
Suffering, suffering
Suffering, suffering
Suffering, suffering
