Numb

Darling, there is plenty of pain to come

So for now, enjoy the privilege of feeling numb

Enjoy the chill on your skin when you stand in the sun

And the dry of your eyes when the tears won't run

Revel in the ordinary, harness the mundane

Worry not of the potential you're washing down the drain

Let your energy flow down the gutter along with the grey rain

And close your eyes to the memories of all your joy and pain

Marvel at your picturesque world in black and white

Never envy those you see with their eyes so alight

For those are the dreamers who dream with all their might

But soon will come their end, when they too give up the fight

Darling, believe me, the hurt is yet to come

So for now, take a moment to enjoy feeling numb
