about

When Andrew recorded the chorus vocals for Beauty & Pain, he had a fever over 100ºF!

lyrics

There was poison in the apple
There is more within my heart
My eyes are scarred and bloodshot
My mind is cut so deep
Is there change within my fingers?
Is there life within my grasp?
Am I a soul in movement?
Or will I stay the same?

I've become
Something I never thought I would
All this tension
I am beauty mixed with pain

She was standing in the doorway
Her tears ran mixed with rain
A little bit of shame in every drop
But there's beauty in the same
There was a moment when she felt it
There was a moment when it changed
And a heart that circles broken
It can be fixed again

I've become
Something I never thought I would
All this tension
I am beauty mixed with pain

I wanna go where my head stops spinning
I wanna go where my it head stops
I wanna go where my heart means something
I wanna go where I escape
I wanna run away I wanna get away
From all this pain inside me
I wanna run away I gotta get away
From all these scars that mock me

I've become
Something I never thought I would
All this tension
I am beauty mixed with pain

I've become (oh what I've become oh what I've become)
Something I never thought I would
All this tension (and all this tension that keeps my head so tightly wrapped)
I am beauty mixed with pain
