danielle dax – numb companions lyrics

so far
i go

when i was far away
i took with me a numb companion
soothing though barbed.
he took my soul.
here there were others – armoured,
their land was a perimeter,
they felt secure,
safe with the knowledge of restraint –
they tongued between the lines.

each of us had a double.
a suited entertainer,
who knew no fear
and wore no protection to the fight,
and had yet to taste –
the bitterness of restraint.
