Watch him lounge around the house
Uncaring of his surroundings
Unfeeling for anyone or anything
And unaware of the world around him

He doesn't feel alive or even awake
Only numb and out-of-the-way
The tears that fill his eyes
Are lonely tears he cries

His thoughts hound him
Send him tumbling down a hole
The light is slowly fading
The mind begins to take control

Unconsciousness takes hold
Strangles him and won't let go
A difficult matter to overcome
When he's already down one

The views are getting dim
And the noise is dying out
He can't feel your presence
Only his own sorrows and doubts

You can assume and suppose
But you'll never really know
As long as you sit comfortably
At your vantage point alone

That was a great line
