Numb

I feel smothered, and encumbered and defeated and drawn

Disappointed, over-extended, and frustrated and shaken

This over-giving, over-loving, this caretaking goes on

With no chance of intermission

I'll be checked out, I'll be gone



How to remove myself from sensation?



Here comes a feeling

I run from the feeling

And reach for the drug

Can't sit with this feeling

I'd rather be flying

And comfortably numb



I feel anxious, I am nervous, I am bored

I'm overwhelmed, rather be out of my gourd



How to remove myself from sensation?



Here comes a feeling

I run from the feeling

And reach for the drug

Can't sit with this feeling

I'd rather be flying

And comfortably numb



I am lonely, I feel hungry, and unloved

I feel angry, I am livid, need a hug



Here comes a feeling

I run from the feeling

And reach for the drug

Can't sit with this feeling

I'd rather be flying

And comfortably numb
