Hello, 'Mark K'...
Sorry to hear your allergies are beating you up, but whatever discomfort you were experiencing while you recorded your vocal track didn't make itself heard to my ears

.
I'll Take Your Pain has pungent, piercing lyrics -- with nails in them -- that are driven home by the stabbing rhythm. The lyrics seem simultaneously doom-laden, while also vaguely appearing to offer some sort of relief to the obviously suffering subject of the song. They're intriguing, spellbinding, even, because of that tension. The barrage of rhythm electric guitar chords under the headlong dive of the electric guitar solo, is something like a musical shock treatment in their combined effect.
It's a powerful track with a lot of nervous-feeling energy to it. Unique in a tortured way. That sudden ending -- like lights going out in my head!
