My body is numb
The emotional morphine
Injected and done
A dose so damn high
It'd kill all of man
But I've learned and adapted
To not give a damn
I've been beaten so bad
There are scars within scars
Emotional fists
Emotional bars
The internal bleeding
Has ceased to clot
blood pouring out
tourniquet knot
The cycle ends here
I'll feel no more pain
The emotional morhine
Will have its reign
