Novocain
A well closed forever -
A heart ripped open,
Carefully hoarded dreams and hopes spilt
on hot pavement
Bled out -
Nothing left but a shell
Full of stubborn heartbreak and memories.
Everything aches...
Make me numb
Make me forget
She really couldn't have it all
Past and present
Dog ears and degrees...
Everything aches...
Make me numb
Make me forget
A demon comes to her in dreams,
Silver hair brushing soft against skin
Yellow eyes swimming in memories.
She remembers them all
As tears slide down her cheek
Her eyes closed against silver and white.
Everything aches...
Make me numb
Make me forget
His lips press against hers,
Urgent, pulling, desperate, familiar -
Everything aches...
Nerves numb as poison creeps in
Lips swelling red, inch by inch
She asks for more -
Please...
Make me numb
Make me forget
And she could almost forget the past -
And she could almost remember the laughter -
Please...
Make me remember

Worn memories of dark hair and orange silk
Slice his heart open,
Unknown dreams and hopes spilt
on hot pavement
Bled out -
Nothing left but a shell
Full of stubborn heartbreak and remorse.
Everything aches...
Make me numb
Make me forget
He really couldn't have it all
Love and honor
Demons and humans...
Everything aches...
Make me numb
Make me forget
The priestess sleeps unaware,
Ebony locks spilling across pillows
Silent tears shining in the moonlight.
He remembers everything
And his heart breaks quietly,
Eyes closed to dark hair and ruby lips.
Everything aches...
Make me numb
Make me forget
In the shadows of night
He seeks her kiss,
Eager for the numbing pain of a miko's touch -
Urgent, pulling, desperate, familiar -
Please...
Make me numb
Make me forget
And he could almost forget the past -
And he could almost remember the laughter -
Please...
Make me remember
