Numb Is Addictive
By: Kitsune
I'll be alright, everything is good
I can't feel the pain, mostly I don't even think of it
Then I try
Thank you for the drink, but I have no hands to grasp it
The day is beautiful, but I have no legs to walk in the sunlight
The scene was warm and tender, but that part of my heart has been sliced from me
Honed steel draws pictures in my soul
I am filled with the blood that drives out the light
I can only stand and watch as you walk away
Am I standing at all? The world has been swept from my eyes
My throat is tight with what I don't feel right now...
I'm numb
Speech is halted, I have nothing to say
Whose ears would hear me anyway?
All your advice, all the falsified movements of sympathy
I burn your memory, blood red and darkest night
You have no face now, no name to cut my skin
I am satisfied with this emptiness, it is constant, which you never were
Take your blood back martyr, the screams tucked into your pocket
The tears you dropped will burn the floor beneath you, betraying
The ideals you grasped so tight
Look, the sun is dead in your heart.
Faded. Cold.
