You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but I can’t hear what you’re saying

When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look, but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown
The dream is gone

I have become comfortably numb
