Comfortably numb

Comfortably Numb I am but it is not a pretty sight
a permanent black night hiding the daylight
Comfortably Numb I am inside my broken world
the hostage is my mind and I the captive held
 
when did I become the frightened soul that lives in this skin
when did I settle for the loss as opposed to the win
Comfortably Numb I am and playing the fragile victim
the hostage is my heart and I its frozen beat
 
Comfortably Numb I am within the secluded arena of my mind
Comfortably Numb I have been and not being cruel to be kind
Inside this circle I go around and around
quite afraid of hitting the higher ground
 
The soul can be a strange land of angel and demon
It is the place where the garden of good and evil come together
Comfortably I am as I dance between sorrow and pain
The panic button is on and I just say too myself your borderline insane
