*Hello... hello... hello... Is there anybody in there?* I feel trapped And unable to nod To indicate my being And no, I can't hear you I'm too *well I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again* Too lost In my mind To stop my own pain *ill need some information, first Just the basic facts, Can you show me where it hurts?* My mind And heart Are being torn away from each-other And becoming separate entities With different wants *Just a little pinprick. There'll be no more, Ahhhhhhhhhhhh But you may feel a little sick.* Can't feel worse than now I'm sick already And dying inside Rotting inside my own mind *can you stand up, stand up, I do believe it's working, good. That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go.* Temporary reliefs From my cryptic beliefs On death And how close I am Dead enough to be decaying *There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse* Of happiness And what life could be A merry me And cheerful world In that moment I saw peace *I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown, The dream is gone.* But, I can be content With temporay relief I have become comfortably numb....
