NUMB

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you


Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming
Confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending
Controlling
I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before
So insecure


Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting
Reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting
How I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming
Confusing what is real
This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending
Controlling
Confusing what is real

Dirty little secret
Dirty little lies
Say your prayers and comb your hair
Save your soul tonight

Drift among the faithful
Bury your desires
Aberrations fill your head
You need a place to hide
And I am

Do you remember me?
The kid I used to be?
Do you remember me?

[Chorus:]
When your world comes crashing down
I want to be there.
If God is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
Jesus wasn't there!

You confess it all away,
But it's only shit to me
If God is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
I will not forgive!

No I won't! [x2]

I've thought you were a good man,
I've thought you talked to God.
You hippocratic, messiahianc, child abusing, turned satanic.

Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
The kid I used to be?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

[Chorus:]
When your own world comes undone,
Let me be the one to say:
(If God is looking down on me)
I'm not Jesus,
You can't run away!

And the innocence you spoil
Found a way to live
If God is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus
I will not forgive!

[x2:]
I will not forgive.
I won't be whatever you want to.

Do you remember me?
The kid I used to be?
Not the same as I used to be!
Oh, do you remember me?

No!

[Chorus:]
When your world comes crashing down,
I want to be there
If God is looking down on me
I'm not Jesus
Jesus wasn't there!

You confess it all away,
But it only shit to me!
If God is looking down on me!
I'm not Jesus,
I will not,
I'm not Jesus,
I will not forgive!

Oh, I will not forgive, yeah yeah!
No, I will not forgive!

This one came from looking, this one opened twice
These two seemed as smooth as silk, flush against my eyes
This one needed stitches and this one came from rings
This one isn't even there, but I feel it more because you don't care

Yeah, cut right into me
Yeah, because I am made of scars
Yes, I am made of scars

This one had it coming, this one found a vein
This one was an accident, but never gave me pain
This one was my father's and this one you can't see
This one had me scared to death, but I guess I should be glad I'm not dead

Yeah, cut right into me
Yeah, because I am made of scars
Yes, I am made of scars
Yeah

Little supernovas in my head
Little soft pulses in my dead
Little souvenirs and secrets shared
Little off guard and unprepared
I was never good enough to find
I was never bad enough to mind
In the middle I will do my best
Take me in your arms and leave the rest

I will give you anything to

[Chorus]
Say you wanna stay, you want me, too
Say you'll never die, you'll always haunt me
I wanna know, I belong to you
Say you'll haunt me

Together, together, we'll be together, together forever

Little variations on my page
Little doors open on my cage
Little time has come and gone so far
Little by little who you are
I can see the patterns on your face
I can see the miracles I trace
Symmetry in shadows I can't hide
I just wanna be right by your side

I will give you everything to

[2x Chorus]

Together, together, we'll be together, together forever
I belong to you
Together, we'll be together, together forever
I belong to you

Little supernovas in my head
Little soft pulses in my dead
Little souvenirs and secrets shared
Little off guard and unprepared

I will give you anything to
I will give you everything to

[2x Chorus]

Together, together, we'll be together, together forever
I belong to you
Together, we'll be together, together forever
I belong to you

She came calling
One early morning
She showed her crown of thorns
She whispered softly
To tell a story
About how she had been wronged
As she lay lifeless
He stole her innocence
And this is how she carried on
This is how she carried on

Well I guess she closed her eyes
And just imagined everything's alright
But she could not hide her tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
They were sent to wash away those years

My anger's violent
But still I'm silent
When tragedy strikes at home
I know this decadence Is shared by millions
Remember you're not alone
Remember you're not alone

Well if you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's alright
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
Well if you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's alright
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
They were sent to wash away those years
Maybe we can wash away those years

For we have crossed many oceans
And we labor in between
In life there are many quotients
And I hope I find the mean
the mean, the mean

Well if you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's alright
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
Well if you just close your eyes
And just imagine everything's alright
But do not hide your tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
Maybe we can wash away those years
I hope that you can wash away those years

You mean everything to me, don't you know?
You're the thing that brought me back to life
I put you on a pedestal
You said I do, I said you will
Now tell me do you wanna
Keep any of this alive? (Alive?)

Didn't I didn't I love you?
Wasn't I good enough for you?
You're not walking away
You're not walking away
(Do you wanna keep this alive?)
You and I, we should be together
You and I, we're in this forever
You're not getting away
You're not getting away

Where would you be without me?
Just ask yourself
No one's gonna love you like I do
Look into my eyes and see
I could never let you leave
Now tell me do you wanna
Keep any of this alive? (Alive?)

Didn't I didn't I love you?
Wasn't I good enough for you?
You're not walking away
You're not walking away
(Don't you wanna keep this alive?)
You and I, we should be together
You and I, we're in this forever
You're not getting away
You're not getting away

Look at you.
Why are you so beautiful?
You're my only one
But you make it so hard for me
Just look at what you've done

Didn't I didn't I love you?
Wasn't I good enough for you?
You're not walking away
You're not walking away
(Do you wanna keep this alive?)
You and I, we should be together
You and I, we're in this forever
You're not getting away
You're not getting away
(Do you wanna keep this alive?)
You're not getting away
You're not getting away
(Do you wanna keep this alive?)
You're not getting away
You're not getting away

She's sticking needles in her skin
I turn with an ugly grin
Her canvas doesn't leave a lot... to fantasy
But her peace of mind, can't stay inside the lines
It's so, confusing, the methods that she's using
She knows she shouldn't leave a mark, that I can see
Will she ever find one million of a kind?
It's cold and lonely, but that's because she told me
Lost inside her dirty world
No one hurts this pretty girl but her...
Oh, she's beautiful
A little better than a man deserves
Oh, I'm not insane
Please tell me she won't shy

Maybe I should let her go
But only when she loves me (she loves me)
How can I just let her go?
Not until she loves me (she loves me)

She's drowning in herself again
My god what a lovely sin
I guess there's nothing left to do, but have my way
She can feel it's right, so she doesn't close her eyes
She smiles and answers, it doesn't seem to matter
Lost inside my dirty head
Something tells me I'm the one who's kept...
Loud, so volatile
A little better than a mind defiled
Oh I need the pain
Please tell me she won't change

Maybe I should let her go
But only when she loves me (she loves me)
How can I just let her go?
Not until she loves me (she loves me)

We were meant to be together
Now die and fucking love me
We were meant to hurt each other
Now die and fucking love me
Die and fucking love me
Die and fucking love me
Die and fucking love me!

Floating on the water ever changing
Picture hours out from that
Into with all our dreams

The ocean takes me into watch you shaking
Watch you weigh your powers
Tempt with hours of pleasure
Take me one more time
Take me one more wave
Take me for one last ride
I'm out of my head

Tonight, Tonight
Tonight, Tonight.. I..
The sound of the waves collide
The sound of the waves collide
The sound of the waves collide
Tonight

Cruising through the city after hours
With me fusing all our powers
Here's to all our
Take me one more time
Take me one more wave
Take me for one last ride
I'm out of my head

Tonight, Tonight
Tonight, Tonight
The sound of the waves collide
The sound of the waves collide
The sound of the waves collide
Tonight

I am an anti everything man
a scab on the lips of the lord
my caustic - dismissal
is all I need to get you
To fall on your sword

It's easy to live fast
It's harder to live
I woke up today with a gun
Ignoring your history
is killing your past
you might run forever
if death never lasts

So do me a favor
Your behavior
Is just a reason why
There is no savior
When you're wasted
Let's face it
There's a side of you that
Knows you're a failure
Lives for the danger
Feels like an enemy but looks like a stranger

The bell has rung on the titans
everybody give us some room
Your so called set of fake morals
I can't tell the difference
Is that an excuse?

The matter at hand
is a matter of time
A sad little kid with broken toys
Your dogmatic license
Has kept you inside

What will you do?
When you're burning alive?

So do me a favor
Your behavior
Is Just a reason why
There is no savior
When you're wasted
Let's face it
There's a side of you that
Knows you're a failure
Lives for the danger
Feels like an enemy but looks like a stranger

So do me a favor
Your behavior
Is Just a reason why
There is no savior
When you're wasted
Let's face it
There's a side of you that
Knows you're a failure
Lives for the danger
Feels like an enemy but looks like a stranger

I don't mind my old,
Dead story
And I don't want to lie to you
I know my glory
Will never be the same as truth
By now my only
enemy is you

I won't go slowly
I'll leave you behind
leave you behind
leave you behind
leave you behind
