In the Absence of Pain

Darkane

Filtered through the nervous system
 Your body does not respond
 Failing neural connections
 Communications with the outside world

 Living in the absence of pain
 Never feeling a thing
 No way to sense injuries sustained
 Trapped within this shell
 Shattered mind, soul in vain
 A future so bleak
 Broken bones, lethal wounds
 Senses docile and meek

 Waiting for sensations to appear
 How long can the body persevere
 One by one, functions letting go
 What it feels like to die
 I will never know

 Never felt what others take for granted
 Nothing signals what's wrong
 Brutally harming your body
 The severity will never be known

 Living in the absence of pain
 Never feeling a thing
 No way to sense injuries sustained
 Trapped within this shell
 Shattered mind, soul in vain
 A future so bleak
 Broken bones, lethal wounds
 Senses docile and meek

 In the absence of pain
 Living life in vain
 Sensations bound to be restrained

 Waiting for sensations to appear
 How long can the body persevere
 One by one, functions letting go
 What it feels like to die
 I will never know
