Numb the Mind

Another night
Mindlessly scrolling
Waiting for my eyes to close down
Trying to sedate my thoughts
Failling to shut my brain off

Night after night, the same
Routine keeps my head in check from the pain
Fake smiles, a forged laugh
All to keep everyone anesthetized
Hardstuck, no desire
To hunt anything worthwhile
So I try to numb my mind

Another day
Mindlessly strolling
Once again
Stuck in this endless loop

Trying to
Withstand this tightness
That's engulfing
My whole chest

Night after night, the same
Routine keeps my head in check from the pain
Fake smiles, a forged laugh
All to keep everyone anesthetized
Hardstuck, no desire
To hunt anything worthwhile
So I try to numb my mind
