having never been numb myself

and the shrink said to his patient

deep psychosis, I think I know the problem

now don't be nervous, I've heard it all before

rain on me so I can reign over you

its what you want, what you need, you know its true

having never been numb myself

but I do believe I know the feeling

I envision that i'm someone else

I prepare the nightmare and slip it into dreaming

you need a curtain, something you can hide underneath

and I know for certain that you really need a sheath

run to me so I can run what is you

and keep your sanity from fading into the blue
