Steve Vai - Going down - live lyrics

So naive, so innocent, thrust in a world too intense Flesh is weak but the soul is strong, and you will bleed but you'll carry on Yes you need your pain, life is pain I could hold your hand, but you must take your pain I don't need sacrifice, I don't need advice This hurt surrounds me like a dissonance Anger is power, I use it to protect myself from insanity You gotta go down deep down into the pain Let it purge your soul like flesh to a razor blade Dig down deep into the pain Surrender, surrender, dig into euphoria Time may never heal the wounds, hearts bleed hard even the sun cries moon Fate is tragic just for heavens sake, the good lord giveth and taketh away 'cause you need your pain, God gave us pain I can hold you in my arms, but I can't take away your pain I am not long for this world please save me from myself and my discipline Lashing out with tight fists in despair, my plight is running from reality Chorus: You gotta go down deep down into the pain Let it purge your soul like flesh to a razor blade Dig down deep into the pain Surrender, surrender, dig in, dig in Put yourself down deep into the pain Embrace the bliss of pure sensation You can't escape from the ultimate pain So let your senses drift into euphoria Blood is thickest when love is bold But blood runs thin when the heart grows cold So you need your pain, we all need pain We were born into this world to feel the joy of all our pain (solo) (chorus) [spoken:] The falling will be gentle and soothing But the awakening will be as riveting as an explosion Eyes open to total darkness, body floating in encompa**ing tranquility And then the voice came 'hear this voice and know that it will be with you always' Phantoms of opulent auras emblazed in a repulsively lush turmoil Of incomprehensible vastness, dance in a sea of timeless infinity And 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 Is this the voice of my god? -this is the voice of liberation Man you've got to be kidding me Go forth and rise to life rise You will have the freedom to think and choose as you wish What do I choose? -you choose in the moment Your life will be shaped around your choices And the fight is on, every minute of the day, every action in every way Is every creature's expression to be one with it's creator From a simple prayer to a senseless murder Where do I find you when I need you? -you will search and you will question Worship me in your joy and curse me in your pain You will fight, k** and love in my name, but I have no name Always keep in your thoughts that life is good But do not fear d**h, for I am closer to you than your vry own breath And I love you, and I want you to know me Now beautiful life awaits you, and when I count to 3, you will awake And you will remember everything I've said 1-2-3
