Numb

I just want to numb the pain, thats all

don't mean to run, don't mean to hide

don't want to hurt, don't want to be found out

don't want a high, don't want a low

I just want to numb the pain, thats all

dreams, they make the loss so real

relived I have, over and over

the agony I can't share

the truth I cannot speak

the love I cannot expect

the loss I cannot accept

and the pain goes throbs on

I can't think of anything else

I just want to numb the pain, that's all

Bright Side

Bemoan the fate as you will

the emptiness would still eat you away

futility of existence and facade of importance

the glitter of attention and tears of oblivion

loath of loneliness and fear of attention

no one can feel you, no one can understand

people would claim they do

but don't you pretend otherwise

An emotional mess, a tangled self

the inner calm when you embrace the death

to be part of someone's final journey

to bathe them and dress them 

and then offer them to fire

the calm you saw on the face

the lifeless body of an illustrious man

some mourn, some pay respect

all move on, life is death

Nothing is static, not even misery

a lot is gained and all is lost

the material you possess

the dress you like

the expensive gold watch 

and that beautiful sapphire

your favourite son, your beloved daughter

your loving wife and all your lovers

strings holding you down

strings waiting to be snapped

look at the bright side though,

there is none
