"Anesthesia" lyrics - TYPE O NEGATIVE

Like a flash of light
In an endless night
Life is trapped between
Two black entities

'Cause when you trust someone
Illusion has begun
No way to prepare
Impending despair

Did one say so cruel
'Tis better to love and lose
Ignorance is bliss
Wish not knew your kiss

So many times been burned
This lesson goes unlearned
Remember desire
Only fuels the fire

Liar
Liar

Betwixt birth and death
Every breath regret
I pity the living
Envy for the dead

Emotionally stunned
In defense, I'm numb
I'd rather not care
Than to be aware
Be scared

I don't need love
I don't need love

I don't need love
I don't need love

Are a thousand tears worth a single smile?
When you give an inch, will they take a mile?
Longing for the past but dreading the future
If not being used, well then you're a user and a loser, ah

World renowned failure at both death and life
Given nothingness, purgatory blight
To run and hide, a cowardly procedure
Options exhausted, except for anesthesia, anesthesia, ah

I don't feel anything, anything
I don't need anything, anything
I don't feel anything, anything
I don't feel anything, anything
Anything, anything, no

I don't feel anything, anything
Anything, anything
