Numb like pain A drip of nicotine Take the sugar through Pulling the tear that won't escape Trapped beneath the blurred haze Running in no clear direction Dizzy, laughing Pulling yourself above the tide Above the laughs, laugh Tug the string of thoughts A simple line of juxtapositions Soaring above the smiles Dragged between the lips of Time The scrapes of burnt childhood A faint remembrance of snow and rain Sipping the rain through my teeth But numb like pain
