Numb

Don't move, don't talk out of time, don't think, don't worry, everything's just fine, Just fine
Don't grab, don't clutch, don't hope for too much, don't breathe, don't achieve
or grieve without leave
Don't check, just balance on the fence, don't answer, don't ask, don't try and make sense
Don't whisper, don't talk, don't run if you can walk, don't cheat, compete, don't miss the one beat
Don't travel by train, don't eat, don't spill, don't piss in the drain, don't make a will
Don't fill out any forms, don't compensate, don't cower, don't crawl, don't come around late, don't hover at the gate
Don't take it on board, don't fall on your sword, just play another chord, if you feel you're getting bored

I feel numb
