COMFORTABLY NUMB (A PATH YOU NEED NOT TAKE)

COMFORTABLY NUMB (A PATH YOU NEED NOT TAKE)

I, I know where this path goes,

It leads you to where the wild things grow,

It will take you beyond comfortably numb,

Only wicked ways, heartache and then some,

Oh sure the beautiful visions entice you,

All its grandeur is a spectacular view,

You salivate at what it promises and says,

Yet as soon as it has you, it changes ways,

The exotic flowers in front of you wither,

And your existence begins to dither,

Your thoughts become uncertain and untrue,

No longer will you find value and virtue,

You become just another wasted life,

Before you know it, you’re shackled to a painful strife,

The devil is always there to spit at your face,

And you’re left wondering how you got to this place,

Only a few have returned, and we are the fortunate souls,

For all the rest the devil has seized control,

So yes my friend, I do know where this path goes,

It leads you to where the wild things grow,

It will take you beyond comfortably numb,

It’s a path of only wicked ways, heartache and then some.
