Numbing The Pain

Dreams torn to pieces, broken like glass Hope faded away, withered like leaves Not knowing is blessing, ignorance the only protection Nothing is numbing my pain The fragments of my faith Became the blade in my hand Just darkness my eyes see Pushed me to the end of all dead-end-streets A curse - cannot lie to myself I'm doomed - cannot silence my heart Fear is the tool, conformity our medicine How can I smile as this age dies, like everybody else Dancing around the fire, that burns this world Cannot bend down, I would just break I hate myself for playing their game Parents poison their children, never teach them to question If it only wasn't for this certainty in me I am a giant in their tiny world
