Numb

There is no pain you are receding
a distant ship's smoke on the horizon
you're only coming through in waves
your lips move but i can't hear what you’re saying
when i was a child i caught a fever
my hands felt just like two balloons
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.

Ah, ah, ah, I have become comfortably numb.

When I was a child I caught a faint glimpse,
out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.

Ah, ah, ah, I have become comfortably numb.
