Pain is a Virtue
from “Songs of Sorrow” - SATB a cappella with divisi - Original text - English - Medium - Premiered
“We love pain. We love being in it. We even consider pain a virtue.
When a woman cries the most at a funeral, she must be the best living soul.
And even if those tears are fake and pitiful, we prefer to believe in her show.
We promise to never forget each other. But for now, so brief are our lives.
We promise to feel the sting of loss, forever. But forever is just a blink of your eyes.
You should move past your pain. If you say “forever, don’t mean it with devotion.
You should heal, move on, and be sane.
Because pain is no more than a useless emotion.
We love pain. We love being in it. We even consider pain a virtue.
Pain is my Virtue.”
