Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't move, don't talk out of time
Don't think, don't worry
Everything's just fine
Just fine
[Verse 2]
Don't grab, don't clutch
Don't hope for too much
Don't breathe, don't achieve
Or grieve without leave
[Verse 3]
Don't check, just balance on the fence
Don't answer, don't ask
Don't try and make sense
[Verse 4]
Don't whisper, don't talk
Don't run if you can walk
Don't cheat, compete
Don't miss the one beat
[Verse 5]
Don't travel by train
Don't eat, don't spill
Don't piss in the drain
Don't make a will
[Verse 6]
Don't fill out your form
Don't compensate
Don't cower, don't crawl
Don't come around late
Don't hover at the gate
[Verse 7]
Don't take it on board
Don't fall on your sword
Just play another chord
If you feel you're getting bored
[Verse 8]
I feel numb
I feel numb
Too much is not enough
I feel numb
[Verse 9]
Don't change your brand
Don't listen to the band
Don't gape, don't ape
Don't change your shape
Have another grape
[Verse 10]
Too much is not enough
I feel numb
I feel numb
[Verse 11]
Don't plead, don't bridle
Don't shackle, don't grind
Don't curve, don't swerve
I feel numb
[Verse 12]
Lie, die, serve
Don't theorize, realize, polarize
Chance, dance, dismiss, apologize
[Verse 13]
I feel numb
[Verse 14]
Don't spy, don't lie
Don't try, imply
Detain, explain
Start again
[Verse 15]
I feel numb
[Verse 16]
Don't triumph, don't coax
Don't cling, don't hoax
Don't freak, peak
Don't leak, don't speak
[Verse 17]
I feel numb
[Verse 18]
Don't project, don't connect
Protect
Don't expect, suggest
I feel numb
Don't project, don't connect
Protect
Don't expect, suggest
I feel numb
[Verse 19]
Don't struggle, don't jerk
Don't collar, don't work
Don't wish, don't fish
Don't teach, don't reach
[Verse 20]
Too much is not enough
I feel numb
[Verse 21]
Don't borrow, don't break
Don't fence, don't steal
Don't pass, don't press
Don't try, don't feel
[Verse 22]
I feel numb
[Verse 23]
Don't touch, don't dive
Don't suffer, don't rhyme
Don't fantasize
Don't rise, don't lie
[Verse 24]
Don't project, don't connect
Protect
Don't expect, suggest
[Verse 25]
Don't project, don't connect
Protect
Don't expect, suggest
[Verse 26]
I feel numb
