Well I can (3)________ (4)________ pain,
Get you on (5)________ feet again.

Relax.
I need (6)________ information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you (7)________ me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.

The (23)__________ is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
