Everybody's got a hunger, no matter where they are
Everybody clings to their own fear, everybody hides some scar
Precious pain, empty and cold but it keeps me alive
I gave it my soul so that I could survive
Keeping me safe in these chains, precious pain
Everybody's got a reason to abandon their plan
How can I think of tomorrow with my sorrow in hand
Precious pain, empty and cold but it keeps me alive
I gave it my soul so that I could survive
Keeping me safe in these chains, precious pain
Each road that I walk down, reminds me of you
This whole town is haunted, there'll never be anything new
Precious pain, empty and cold but it keeps me alive
I gave it my soul so that I could survive
Keeping me safe in these chains, precious pain
