Introducing lyrics
Test, check. Well, he s been released again today, and I m back where I started: Looking over old notes, listening to tapes, wondering how bad I potentially messed up this time. The wounds seem to be healing and he seems to be getting along, without his appendages. And I know he seemed fine; seems can be a very dangerous word, especially in this business - it can be fatal. Initial diagnosis - catatonic. I know he s back there somewhere, but there s just no response whatsoever, to any kind of stimulus. We ll start him with medication tomrorow - I m sure of it. This man s tragedy has made him a prisoner in his own body. And it s not just tragedy, it s dementia, despair. It s this hole I can see in each of his eyes. For all the events that happened in this real world, kind of just fall through. It s loneliness in it s most crippling form: the kind that no amount of love, or human contact could ever mend. The patient was plagued by violent nightmares; terrible, deeply troubling dreams which one night overflowed into reality and he murdered his wife, in his sleep. These people were in love, deeply in love; and it was that love, filling those holes I can now see behind his eyes and it s my job to try to fill those holes with something else, but with what? Hope? I can fill his holes with drugs, soothing words - that s all. I hope his wounds will heal with time, but right now, things aren t looking good.

These lines I wear around my wrist are there to prove that I exist. [x4]

(patient): It s inside my torso, behind my eyes, in the back of my head. It feels like something s eating me alive, from the inside out.
(doctor): Well, that s grief, loss.
(patient): Don t tell me what it is.
