Anesthesia

I REMEMBER ONCE A TIME WHEN WE
WERE YOUNG AND FREE
WITH OUR WHOLE LIVES AHEAD OF US
WE RAN WILD IN THE STREETS
AND HE WAS ALWAYS ONE OF US
AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE
BUT ONE DAY LIFE CAUGHT UP TO HIM
AND LEFT HIM IN THE FRAY

BUT NOW THAT'S HE'S OLDER,
LIFE COULD NEVER BE THE SAME
ALL HE WANTED WAS SOMETHING
TO TAKE AWAY THE PAIN

AND HE FOUND HIMSELF IN A MINDLESS DAZE
IN A DULL AND SENSELESS LIFE
HE WORKED AWAY HIS DAY AND
HE DRANK AWAY HIS NIGHTS
ONE DAY AS HE STARED INTO THE
BOTTOM OF AN EMPTY GLASS
HE REALIZED THAT HE HAD NO QUESTIONS
MORE THAT HE COULD ASK

BUT NOW THAT'S HE'S OLDER,
LIFE COULD NEVER BE THE SAME
ALL HE WANTED WAS SOMETHING
TO TAKE AWAY THE PAIN

SO SIT BACK AND LAUGH
AND TURN OFF YOUR BRAIN
LIFE IS SO MUCH EASIER
WITHOUT ALL THE PAIN
SO SIT BACK AND DRINK
ONE MORE TO THE DAYS
THAT HAVE GONE BY
JUST KEEP YOUR HEART IN YESTERDAY
AND KISS TOMORROW GOODBYE
