This time released security
controlled dose of tranquility
forgetfulness washes over me
put to rest the voices of insanity
Only the cinders remain
as another night
becomes a yesterday
Come on! anesthetize the panic
it is what drives the weak
you're gone! anesthetize the panic
putting all uncertainties to sleep
Not an altered state of mind
but a safer place in an unsafe world
within the nearness of death
rapture in the skip of a heartbeat
