The Carolyn novocaine

Paint me in all your favorite colors
But leave out those darker shades of red
‘Cause I cringe just from thinking of the moment
My image gets destroyed inside your head
And lay waste
to every hope and dream
So we won't wake
during surgery
Maybe I'll blame it on the summer
Excuses made have gone and fled
What remains of hanging on comes into focus
And turns into just letting go instead
And lay waste
to every hope and dream
So we won't wake
during surgery
This place
numbs like Novocaine
But have faith
we'll feel alright some day
