Song Description
I heard someone use the words "words cause the most pain" or something like that, and it hit me immediately that it'd make a good song. I went and wrote the lyrics in about 15 minutes. then put music to it later, which I almost never do.

Lyrics
Worst Kind of Pain
pins and needles break the skin
knives and guns can do the same
but nothing's like what hits the ears
words cause the worst kind of pain
sticks and stones may hurt like hell
so will heat from an open flame
but burns as they go don't come close
words cause the worst kind of pain
chorus/bridge
bites and stings may cause you trouble
and accidents when you're to blame
if looks could kill, they would hurt a little
but words turn tears to rain
hands and knees are scraped and bloody
pavement's painted by the stain
but egos bruised still have it worse
words cause the worst kind of pain
chorus/bridge
bites and stings may cause you trouble
and accidents when you're to blame
if looks could kill, they would hurt a little
but words turn tears to rain
rounds of ammo can do damage
fast or slow they do the same
words of war are used as weapons
they still cause the worst kind of pain
words cause the worst kind of pain
