Suffering (Mike's way)

[Verse 1]

It's not the world as I've been told

It's not the things we've bought and sold

Not a lucrative career

Mostly suffering down here

Not the drinks, not the smokes

It's not a very funny joke

Not the thoughts, gives you pause

It's not the blood dried on your claws

[Chorus]

It's not a film that made you cry

It's not a link between you and I

Not the distance of the clouds

It's not the taste, not the sound

[Verse 2]

It's not the words which you once wrote

It's not the hands clasped 'round your throat

Not the distant sound of rain

It's not what's lost or what remains

Not some sickness in your brain

It's not the drugs inside your veins

Memories of falling snow

A place whеre flowers still won't grow

[Chorus]

It's not the days you spеnt in bed

It's not some devil in your head

Not the distance of the clouds

How you say my name out loud
