Pain Of Mind 
Pierwszy oficjalny album Neurosis. Wczesne lata zespołu i te hate-corowe brzmienie. Co tu dłużej mówić, pierwsze dwa albumy to zupełnie inny rodzaj muzyki niż ich późniejsze dokonania. Wiele osób uważa, że wręcz punk rockowe brzmienie, więc jeżeli liczysz na coś w stylu Times Of Grace to niestety, ale trochę się zawiedziesz. A teksty to jak przystało na Neurosis nic dodać nic ująć.

1. Pain of mind
You're mind is restricted
From year of obedience
Thoughts are never your own crap
Who decided your life? Not you
Never had it in you to look inside
And be you
Living life in a safety belt
Nothing inside anymore
Never crossed the line
Just content to whine
Always pay the fine
mind by their decign
It's time to purge your brain
No question st all
They've constructedthe wall
But you had the bricks
(Ever increasing pressure fix)
(Pain of mind, sickness of heart)
Pain of mind, sickness of heart.
2. Self-taught infection
How can we be so blind?
Once we had a world
Untained land to toil our lives
But then we...
Lost control
Of our greed our need
Lost control
How what have we got?
Our world's a disease
The germ is us
Our mind have...
We taught our children
Hate and love
We taught our children
To love, to hate
Confined inside our minds
Entangled in greed
We serch for unity.
3. Resons to hide
To try make an order our of
Muddled thought and dream - To
Watch hope and desire torn
Apart at the seams - Construct
A wall of hatred our of failures
Crumbled ruins - To claw with
Bleeding fingers for the stones
To be moved
In my dreams I witness terrors
When I wake up they are true
They're of pin and of anguish
Feelings I never Knew
To crawl Through the maze of life
And never find the door
To stumble on the corpse of emotion
Sprawled across the floor
To stare blankly at one's omage
And then coldly turn away
To realize I'm not the one who's soul died today.
4. Black
Sometime it makes me far away
Other times I think I need a change today
Unwanted feelings of desapair from inside
And all I want is place to hide
Sometime it makes me really angry
Other times it gets me really sad
But ever times it happends only thing I see is ...
Black, black, black, all I see is ...
I just want a little piece of mind
Away from all my pressures and the dailt grind
Ijust want a place where I can be
Away from all the things the truble me
Could things be better at the ebd of the road?
Or will the world outside still be cold?
For the inner tranqiility that I lack
Turns Everythings I see to black.
5. Training
All of us go through our lives
And never stop to think for a second
We produce and impenetrable womb
And seal our existence
Controlled by boundaries of mind
We ignore any reasoning
And we still all wonder why our whole race is doomed
And we do as we're told
And we grow so cold
And no once can say why.
6. Progress
How much truth can you take?
Lies so pure
Hidden eyes, victimized too scure
You live your lies to suicide
Contrnt from fear
Beaten down and kept in line
Commit no sin
Programmed mind, self-confned wall closed in
Greed controls our lives
Money kills
Taught to think and act lie
Break the will.
7. Stalemate
I woke up in the , spent the night in the trenches again
The first thing I do is grab my gun
The enemy is near, it wasdangrousto sleep
I was lucky to have lived to see the sun
In a foreign land fighting for my country
Over words that the politicians said
I look and mee the eyes of an enemy soldier
Aiming his gun at my head...
Stalemate...
Panicked thoughts run through my mind
Visions of my death unwind
Standing there shaking in terror
Iclutch my gun in despair
We look each otherin the eyes
Then we both realize that our roles are the same
I put down my gun and he walks away.
8. Bury what's dead
Undermine the system that breeds destruction
(Wake up and bury what's dead)
Our lives are the cancer ti their oppression
(Wake up and bury what's dead)
I you think the reason we are here
Is to fight our brothers and sisters and lovers
You must realize it's ourselves we fear
Do you feel the tension in our land?
(Wake up and bury what's dead)
From the hate zone to thr high rise all built by man
(Wake up and bury what's dead)
Distrust authority
The only rules are your own
Spilling blood for a piece of dirt
(Wake up and bury what's dead)
Show what a human being is worth
(Wake up and bury what's dead).

11. United Sheep
Follow the sheep
As the wolf drives the sheep to slaughter
Stand with the wolf
As the sheep eat each other
Crumbling roots
Fearing of the wolf
Love your fellow sheep
As you march straight into death
Follow the sheep to unity.
12. Dominoes fall
(tylko muza)
13. Life on your knees
Christ died nailed to a cross
(Life on ypur knees,get down on your knees)
How he'san icon to the spineless mass
(Life on your knees, enforced reality)
Bring your mind forth and submit
(Life on ypur knees, get down on your knees)
Just let him take you away
(Life on ypur knees, assume conformity)
Welcome to the world of your mindless life
Away from the reality if your lifeless mind
Welcome to the world of your lifeless mind
Away from the reality if your mindless life
He was no better than the rest of us
Crucified for doing what was right to him
And you'll do no better, we're all slaves
Let go now, look within
Break the chains on your mind
Don't spend your life on your fucking knees
The power is within yourself
Take a hold of your own life
If you spend your life waiting for heaven
you'll never get out of hell.
14. Grey
Fighting against the way we've beem conditioned
Is the pain of life and mind
The more we see the more we knoe
The more we can't seem to find...
A way of living life free of control
Without reality being such a fucking hole
Where all we have to do is survive
With no restrictions on our lives
In this situatin we're forced to hypocrisy
We're made to set rules for ourvival
Distrust is taught as a way of survival
(Follow your heart, trust your head)
We've got to accept that we're all alike
Fascist is anarchist is life, one makes the other
And the other is one
Just reflections of blacj and white.
