Alex Skolnick - Gift of Pain lyrics

Down on the dark streets below Reject the phoenix and regain control A million memories that you never had A pathetic attempt to erase the past My truth will burn your lies away [Chorus] You gave You gave me a gift You gave You gave me a gift of pain You gave You gave me a gift You gave You gave me a gift For blessed years, I never saw your face You disappeared, but you never changed I've come to understand your weakness again Dragged my name through the mud In punishment for your sins My truth will burn your lies away [Chorus] You gave You gave me a gift You gave You gave me a gift of pain [Chorus] You gave You gave me a gift You gave You gave me a gift of pain Gift of pain You gave me a gift of pain I've sat alone for so long Burning with anger, staring through the walls I will rebuild a stronger design Regain my will and leave you behind b**h [Solos: Alex Skolnick, Gary Holt] You run away as far as you can You took the best of me And left behind a broken man [Solo: Alex Skolnick] You keep on coming back To drag me down I'll keep on fighting Until they put me in the ground [Solo: Gary Holt] [Chorus] You gave You gave me a gift You gave You gave me a gift of pain [Solo: Alex Skolnick] I'll give I'll give you a gift I'll give I'll give you a gift of pain Gift of pain Gift of pain Gift of pain
