			Hello. 
Is there anybody in there? 
Just nod if you can hear me. 
Is there anyone home? 
 
Come on, now. 
I hear you’re feeling down. 
Well I can ease your pain, 
Get you on your feet again. 
 
Relax. 
I need some information first. 
Just the basic facts: 
Can you show me where it hurts? 
 
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 had a fever. 
My hands felt just like two balloons. 
Now I got that feeling once again. 
I can’t explain, you would not understand. 
This is not how I am. 
I have become comfortably numb.
