Pain Sleeps In the Arms of Numb
Art just marks on paper
Music just shadows of feeling
Poems lies we tell to strangers
Love picks at the stands of our loneliness
wishing i had the strength to keep the sunlight out
punching life in the face
while ripping the heart out of death
Pain sleeps in the arms of numb
and the false smiles offer no comfort
for unborn tears
Answering the okays
with a liars mount
Controlling the turmoil
with a silent sigh
and losing more than you ever were
and living in the alone
