Numb

Unable so lost
I can't find my way
Been searching, but I have never seen
A turning, a turning from deceit
'Cos the child roses like
Try to reveal what I could feel
I can't understand myself anymore
'cause I m still feeling lonely
Feeling so unholy
'Cos a child rolls his eyes
Try to reveal what I could feel
And this loneliness
It just won't leave me alone
I'm fooling somebody
A faithless path to roam
Deceiving to breath this secretly
This silence, a silence I can't bear
Cos a child rolls his eyes
Try to reveal what I could feel
And this loneliness
It just won't leave me alone
And this loneliness,
It just won't leave me alone, ohh no
A lady of war
A lady of war..
