Anesthesia - Type O Negative

Like a flash of light in an endless night

Life is trapped between two black entities

'Cause when you trust someone

Illusion has begun

No way to prepare

Impending despair

Did one say so cruel

'Tis better to love than lose

Ignorance is bliss

Wish not knew your kiss

So many times been burned

This lesson goes unlearned

Remember desire only fuels the fire

Liar!

Betwixed birth and death

Every breath regret

I pity the living

Envy for the dead

Emotionally stunned

In defense — I’m numb

I’d rather not care then to be aware

Be scared

I don’t need love

Are a thousand tears worth a single smile?

When you give an inch, will they take a mile?

Longing for the past but dreading the future

If not being used, well then you’re a user and a loser

World reknowned failure at both death and life

Given nothingness, purgatory blight

To run and hide, a cowardly procedure

Options exhausted, except for anesthesia

I don’t feel anything
