A Shot to Ease the Pain

So while wondering around the Northville Psychiatric Hospital, we came upon a desk that was half destroyed. When the curiosity came about to see what was inside the ajar door, we found this: a box of obviously used syringes. Imagine if you will, being completely in the dark, in an abandoned mental facility, holding a flashlight, and looking down to find this. That should just about set the mood for ‘A Shot to Ease the Pain’.

As always, amazing work, Baron.

OK,
Just a little pin prick.
There'll be no more, "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good...
That'll 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 can't 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 has grown, the dream is gone.

I have become comfortably numb.
