Stay Numb

Open my eyes to blinding lights and all the feelings of regret

Wouldn’t have mind if they stayed shut

I’ve got this knife in my side

That I might have applied

And it’s bothered me more than once

And I’ve got some slight suspicions

About Mr. and the Mrs.

But that shouldn’t be any of my concern

And I might take flight to see if the stars align

Or if I just crash and hit the dirt

Vandalize my skin some more

Talking shit when I get stoned no

Tell more lies to get me out of rides home

Talking to myself at night

It helps me know that I’m alive

I’ve never been one for advice

My momma said I should pray twice but

I’ll stay numb

It’s all I can take

It’s all I can take

Break

Normal nights, a swimming pool

I almost said that I loved you

What a stupid thing to do

Took the drugs from your desk drawer

Pay no mind we‘ll get some more oh

How the hell did we get here

I thought we were out for lunch?

Terrified for 25

It must have been another life

So I’ll stay numb

It’s all I can take

It’s all I can take

My friends are why I survive

Oh, Jesus Christ am I alright?

No, I’ll stay numb

It’s all I can take

It’s all I can take

I almost said that I love you for real, for real
