Lyrics

Numb

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I feel smothered, and encumbered and defeated and drawn

Disappointed, over-extended and frustrated

And shaken

This over-giving, over-loving, this caretaking

Goes on

With no chance of intermission,

I'll be checked out, I'll be gone,

How to remove myself from sensation?

Here comes a feeling

I run from the feeling

And reach for the drug,

Can't sit with this feeling

I'd rather be flying

And comfortably numb

I feel anxious I am nervous I am bored,

I'm overwhelmed, rather be out of my gourd

How to remove myself from sensation?

Here comes a feeling

I run from the feeling

And reach for the drug,

Can't sit with this feeling

I'd rather be flying

And comfortably numb

I am lonely I feel hungry and unloved

I feel angry I am livid need a hug,

Here comes a feeling

I run from the feeling

And reach for the drug,

Can't sit with this feeling

I'd rather be flying

And comfortably numb
