Comfortably Numb

Great show by MLC last night, capped off with an encore of the Pink Floyd classic.

I love that song, for a number of reasons, but partly because it sums up so well how I feel most of the time.

Why is it, that even when I'm enjoying myself, I still feel an emptiness inside?

"Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now. I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain, Get you on your feet again.

Relax. I need some information first.
Just the basic facts: Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever. My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.

I have become comfortably numb."
