The cover of Axel Lundén's Shaking Hands album.

Until It Hurts

Do you wanna tell where you've been?
I've got this sinking feeling
There's something hidden that you've left unsaid
These days you're always leaving

Oh, it's nothing I can't take
I've endured a lifetime of pain
Do you realize what's at stake?
I've been longing, looking for some kind of escape

Do you wanna tell me what would work?
What would put us back together?
Or will you just ignore it until it hurts?
Watch you fade into the ether

Oh, there's nothing we can't fake
With the cameras pointed at us
Oh, the poses that we make
We're entertainment, pure tabloid fodder
Oh, it's nothing I can't take
I've endured a lifetime of pain
Do you even realize what's at stake?
I've been longing, searching for some kind of escape
