"Beauty has become a stimulus to garrulity. It has gotten so that on confronting the beautiful one feels duty-bound to say something in a great hurry. It has gotten so we feel we must convert beauty right away."
Yukio Mishima, Forbidden Colours

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 cant hear what you’re saying.
when i was a child i had a fever.
my hands felt just like two balloons.
now i got that feeling once again.
i cant explain, you would not understand.
this is not how i am.
i have become comfortably numb.

okay.
just a little pinprick.
there’ll be no more
but you may feel a little sick.

can you stand up?
i do believe it’s working. good.
thatll keep you going for the show.
come on it’s time to go.

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 cant hear what you’re saying.
when i was a child i caught a fleeting glimpse,
out of the corner of my eye.
i turned to look but it was gone.
i cannot put my finger on it now.
the child is grown, the dream is gone.
i have become comfortably numb.
Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb
