Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
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 had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

Okay
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more, ah
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
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

This music, plus a bunch of high risk pastimes like free solo climbing and racing motorcycles got me through some emotionally shattering times.

Now I'm oldish (58) and mostly crippled by those high risk pastimes of my youth, but the emotionally shattering times I am in mean I need the perspective those pastimes gave.

I've lost about 60 pounds since 01 JAN 17 and I am starting a training plan that (hopefully) leads to Concordia. But today, the diet went in the shitter, and in the words of Vasco Rodriguez, I ate like a "piss gluttonned whore"

Tomorrow I am back at it.

Please wish me both luck and the determination to see it through.

I picked up a girl in a bar along time ago using those lyrics.  Good times.  Sweet Lorie.  

Good luck OP.
