Joy & Pain Lyrics by SouL Elements

The Repercussions of Joy and Pain

2018

I’m starting to sink but now I put my thoughts to the ink
And write about how I wound up on this brink
It’s harder to think. I’m trying to findorder with peace
I take breaths but it’s getting harder to breathe
I parted a seed I never really wanted to be
But then I understood that I want it to be
I’m walking my beast by steady rocking this beat
I’m a sceptic putting this off in the streets
I’m kind of confused and the time that I use
I consider too valuable to cry with the blues
I fly with the clues. I’m cautious
And now I feel vertigo, I’m nauseous
I doubted my role, I’m out of my soul
I barely got the elements. I’m out of control
There’s a difference when I say “I’m enjoying my life.”
I still wanna feel a little Joy in my life
(chorus)
I wish this would be real, joy
I don’t feel the same
I just wanna feel Joy
Can’t deny this pain
Mechanical man, I stand and go “Damn!”
As I analyze this radical plan
Lyrics I write, I hope you’re going to hear this in life
‘Cuz my words just seem to disappear in the night
So I flow with the bars. I know who you are
And if I can’t grow with you, I'll be alone with the stars
And go with the cause. I can show you my scars
That’s why I can’t sit back and be stoic and pause
Broken apart. A hole in the heart
I used to have a whole heart that even glowed in the dark
But I’m making my way. Awaiting the day
I got jump-shot hopes 'cuz their fading away
Lyrical skills, a spiritual will
I’m searching every day for that miracle, still
There’s a difference when I say “I’m enjoying my life.”
I still wanna feel a little joy in my life
(chorus)
I wish this would be real, Joy
I don’t feel the same
I just wanna feel joy
Can’t deny this pain
Know what’s lame? Know what’s a shame?
A lot of people out there toy with the game
Grow up and change your ploy with with an aim
And if I did have a choice, I’d take Joy with the pain (and whisper)
Follow ya dreams, as hard as it seems
Even if you have to holler and scream
Be good to yourself. That’s always good for your health
And you ain’t gotta hear me out but if you would, it could help
You can be what you wanna be
You can do what you wanna do
You can be where you wanna be
You can go where you wanna go
You can have what you wanna have
You can cry if you wanna cry
You can laugh if you wanna laugh
And you can fly if you wanna fly
(chorus)
I wish this would be real joy
I don’t feel the same
I just wanna feel Joy
Can’t deny this pain
I wish this would be real, Joy
I don’t feel the same
I just wanna feel joy
I can’t deny this pain
