Numb Songtext
von Jess Jocoy

Numb to the king and I′m
Numb to the newsreels
I pour salt in my wounds to remember how it feels
How to feel anything at all

Wake up alone dressed in my day clothes
The noise from the bar next door
Shouldn't all those people be at home?
God, why can′t they go home?

I think I left a young man aching
'Cause he couldn't live like me
Numb to all the residents
Living in his screen


He says I don′t care, I don′t care if he's right
It might all look the same or different
In a different light, in a different life

And I′m numb to the noise, numb to the nonsense
Tell me now boys
Do you think all of this static's heaven sent
Are there angels on the airwaves?

I kept an idle hand on progress
Oh ′cause you can't get ahead of yourself
There′s no feeling left to feel I ain't already felt

I keep an idle hand on the throttle
'Cause there′s only room for one kind of love
It′s the kind that takes to leaving
When the love leaves you numb

It's the kind that takes to leaving
When good ain′t good enough
