Numb

Why can't I bleed this pain I feel

It emanates from my pores

It should look something fierce

Or at least it should look a bit real

But it's gone hiding behind all the ***** and the sleeps and the work

That force the weeks to sink like a stone in my mind

Buried beneath all the filth I convince myself is only a good time

But any fool knows when the bats come the butterflies die

And when the rain comes it's the sky that looks like a fool to cry
