there is no pain, you are receding
a distant ship's smoke on the horizon
you are only coming through in waves
your lips move but i can't hear what you're sayin'
when i was a child i caught a fleeting 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
i have become comfortably numb.
