Numb
Holly McNarland
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Chase destruction of your own emotions And your need for love, makes you easy prey Safety of a rubber glove seems much too simple Climbing up and down, waiting for the day You can't see if I'm not listening You can't hear with my eyes open I can hate with my eyes open I feel better when I'm numb Chase distraction of your own existence Keep it clean, clean enough to stab Lick your own wounds, anxious for the next one Cry for more pain, heal what you have You can't see if I'm not listening You can't hear with my eyes open I can't hate with my eyes open I feel better when I'm numb Just another hit for the one you love If you cared at all, you'd put me down Wake up dead man, can't you see I'm starving You can't see if I'm not listening You can't hear with my eyes open I can't hate with my eyes open I feel better when I'm numb I feel better I feel better when I'm numb
