Lord kill the pain

Don't want to ask you again
Kill my girlfriend
And kill my best friend Sam
Cause I saw them making eyes again

Lord kill the pain

Don't want to ask you again
Kill my neighbors
And all my family too
They doubt my direction

Lord let it rain

Don't want to ask you again
Drown my country
Drown everyone but me
So I can live peacefully

Or put me to sleep here
And wake me in Japan
I want to speak a new language

Drop me a line and pull me out
But do not find me
Amongst dead underground
Let me hear the whining sound
Of a pig drown

And lead me over summery hill
To a place I like to think about
And sedate me with Tylenol pills
Oh how I love to dream about

Drop me a line and pull me out
But do not find me
Amongst life on the ground
Let me see the burning down
Of my home town

Lord kill the pain

    Surprised none of you commented on this song. Granted my library of Red House Painters is fairly limited, I find this song to be very catchy and meaningful. Right up there, if not better than "Have you Forgotten?"

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
