Have you ever felt anaesthetised?
Drugged up to the eyeballs,
on your own sense of down
funny how pain,
Makes you wish it would drown
Till you can no longer feel it
And you hide and resign
Your eye’s become weary
and familiar with ground
Your mind cannot bear it
The rejection and shame
The photograph’s of smiles
Are lost in the frames
Until you became anon entity
You
Yeah you
and your small talking mind
All the while sewing malignant
yet Wishful for benign
Knowing roots grow slowly, and yet
That you’ll reep torture in time
But there comes a time
When it hits you in the eye
That without shame, and failure and ...pain
...When you were hiding from those feelings
You were hiding from yourself
Love and hate,
are spoken about so much,
But with love,
hate cannot breathe
On the other hand,
love and pain-
they must co-exist
Your eyes have not spoken for a while
And I know that your jaw is weary
Atlas couldn’t keep up that smile
Don’t let anything discourage you
My friend
It is time to step out of the shadow
Of your former self
Don’t be afraid to love and lose
Don’t be afraid to talk
Say how you feel
Take a minute to realise
What a fucking beautiful world this is
And everything will move in slow
Until you can feel a rhythmic thud
Everything that was wrong can become right
In the same way as it happens in reverse
Become innocent again
You are going to be alright
All darkness will be banished
When you befriend the light
