Comfortably Numb 2

Comfortably Numb

Throughout my life I have chased the comfortably numb

When times were hard I found the comfort in being comfortably numb

When people asked how I was doing, it was the comfortably numb that let me say ok

Then the pain succumbed to the comfortably numb

The pain returned time and time again only to fall to the comfortably numb

The mind weakened by a life of pain shored up by the comfortably numb

The numb became weaker and weaker until it wasn't comfortably numb anymore

Lifes' up and downs began to drown the man, the pain filled his lungs

The comfortably numb stared in disbelief as the pain took over

For the comfortably numb couldn't ease the pain any more.

Then one day a tragic accident happened leaving the man vulnerable

The snake raised it's head up and bit the man

The snake laid in wait for the pain to to take him away

But once again the comfortably numb returned to this day

The struggle of life and death the comfortably numb couldn't delay
