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
