Lyrics
Novocaine
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.
Locking this out, faking this smile
'Cause nobody goes dark like me
Keep it all in, hold it together
'Cause nobody feels just quite this tired
So tired of these wires that bind me
Come find me alone
You know it's all gone if you're honest
We're taking all we can till it's over
'Cause I won't let go
I'm dreaming of the time when you found me
Just staring at the sun
As your smile was going through me like novocaine
Holding on tight, praying for sunlight
I know you won't be here for long
There's no one here now
It's empty and silent, we tried it all before
But we lost it, we lost it
It cost me my first glimpse of life lived in here
You know it's all gone if you're honest
We're taking all we can till it's over
'Cause I won't let go
I'm dreaming of the time when you found me
Just staring at the sun
As your smile was going through me like novocaine
You know it's all gone if you're honest
We're taking all we can till it's over
'Cause I won't let go
I'm dreaming of the time when you found me
Just staring at the sun
As your smile was going through me like fire
Through me like hope
You're going through me like novocaine
