Numbing Notions
life goes on and the wheels keep turning
despite what has happened this fire's still burning
and in spite of what happened this heart is still yearning
but because of what happened this heart has been learning
to bear it's all when it's necessary
to be careful of the burdens it carries
to hide the pain and show a grin
hide in plain sight your marks of sin
self injury shown without shame
but not flaunted to proclaim
a patron of pain, a saint of self injury
show them all what careful surgery
you performed on your frail frame
to take away whatever ails your brain
to remove whatever it was that made you hurt
and make you wish to flirt
with pain and death, and numbing notions
to clear your mind of all emotions
