Numb


broken inside, hurt to the core

feelings can't hide, what people ignore

all of the pain and hurt and loss

all of the bruises and lumps and scars

darkness falls where light should rise

and all just gets to much to disguise

 

numb, numb

no more pain, no more suffering

all is calm and cold

feelings don't pass through

they freeze in a timeless loop

cause your numb, numb

 

words couldn't get more complicated 

than when you can't feeling a thing

all of the time and space and faith

all of the pride and lone suffering

people go when they should've stayed

and all that's left for you to do is pray

 

numb, numb

no more hope, no more light

all is calm and gone in the night

feelings don't come

their frozen in a storm

cause your numb, numb

 

God please help me

through the storm

feeling something

though i'm numb

if you can forgive me

then surely i can breathe one

so please don't leave me numb, numb
