tied into you world
holding you together
a front and centre dream
slave to the ideal
is this a heavy load?
go ahead and practice
some artful detachment
as if you stood apart
a beauty to behold
as if the things you'll never face were yours
to control

does it make any difference
does it make any difference
does it make any difference

never mind the facts
find a way to frame it
hold your breath
hold back your hand [bad word] your shot [bad word] the lamb
up, now you're so intent
up, on being someone
no one

numbers, sheer numbness
numbers, sheer numbness
numbers, sheer numbness

cold, leaving the shore
tired, bleeding out
don't look, feel the undulation
try your best, to ignore
the death rolls, below
united, denied, dissolving
no, god return me
i am nothing, outside of me

as if you stood apart
a beauty to behold
as if the things you'll never face were yours
to control

does it make any difference
(numbers, sheer numbness)
