 I am numb and feel nothing.
 I am numb, but deep inside
 I am screaming. I am sitting
 all alone here, isanely crazy,
 but no one will ever know
because here I hide behind this smile.
I've accomplished what I've set
out to do.
I AM NUMB TO LIFE ITSELF.
Somebody beat the shit out of me
so that I know I am still alive.
Maybe then I can feel. Feel the
pain. I've blocked out the world
once again because I am afraid
of being hurt once more.
Now, I am trapped inside myself.
I'm trapped insde my own
sanctuary, now, captive deep
inside my mind.
I AM NUMB.
I have no feeling left inside.
I can not feel on the outside.
What difference does it make when you are NUMB?
Why feel the pain that life has to offer?
Isn't it easier to stay inside
where no one can reach you?
Inside your screaming, but no
one can hear you.
Who needs to feel when all you
feel is NUMB?
Why feel when you don't have to?
So NUMB inside.
So NUMB outside.
Can someone please beat the sh*t
out of me?
Maybe then I can feel. Feel that
I am alive. Feel the blood that
runs through my veins, feel the
lungs that hold my breath, feel
the heart the beats inside, feel
the mind that is so NUMB.
FEEL THE MIND THAT IS SO NUMB.
Why feel at all?
What's the point to live and die?
It makes life a little more
bearable when you can't feel.
When you're so NUMB.
I CAN'T CONTROL MY THOUGHTS
BECAUSE I AM NUMB.
I CAN'T CONTROL MY FEELINGS
BECAUSE I AM NUMB.
I CAN'T CONTROL BECAUSE I AM
NUMB.
WHAT'S THE POINT OF FEELING WHEN
YOU CAN BE NUMB????
