Plain and Simple

my old familiar friend - Numb
welcome Numb
nice to see you
yeah, i was just being polite.

can you make them stop?
can you stop the chattering?
can you stop the arguing?
can you stop the berating and commanding and...
can you stop their noise?
usually i can, but all attempts fail.

so Numb, what can you do for me?
that's what i thought
your only purpose is to render me numb.
at least they don't bother me quite so much
not with you around
nothing really matters
not when you're around.

if i feel frustrated because i can't sleep
i can turn to you, Numb, and sit and stare
if i feel the pain of depression
i can turn to you, Numb, and sink into your embrace
if i so much as begin to feel hope
i can turn to you, Numb, and watch it disappear
if i grow angry at the voices
i can turn to you, Numb, and simply cease to care
if i think to snuff it
i can turn to you, Numb, and all desire ends
if... anything. you are there.

welcome Numb.
you are the end of desire.
you are the end.
