Numb
Embracing Numbness: Unveiling Vulnerability and Seeking Solace
Lyrics
I'm afraid that you will find me out
I fear being exposed or discovered.
I'm afraid you wouldn't like me if you saw my mask down
I fear you won't like the real me beneath my facade.
Run away from feelings leave them out
I avoid confronting emotions; I keep them aside.
Run away from all the silence I need you to be loud
I avoid silence and need you to be expressive and vocal.
Don't be shy
Encouraging not to be reserved or timid.
Don't ask why
Discouraging questioning or seeking reasons.
Don't believe me
Don't trust what I say; I may deceive.
Say those lies
Encouraging the expression of false statements.
Say you're mine
Claiming ownership or connection.
Say you need me
Asserting dependence and neediness.
Help me feel numb, numb, numb
Pleading to be emotionally numb.
Help me feel numb, numb, numb
Repeating the plea for emotional numbness.
Can you hurt me so I don't feel pain
Asking to be hurt to avoid feeling pain.
But don't hurt me more unless I say to do again
Setting a boundary for acceptable pain.
Erase the madness in my brain
Desiring relief from mental chaos.
I'll let you break it all until you make me feel sane
Willing to let go until feeling sane again.
Don't be shy
Reiterating the call not to be reserved.
Don't ask why
Discouraging questioning or seeking reasons (repeated).
Don't believe me
Repeating the lack of trust in spoken words.
Say those lies
Encouraging the expression of false statements (repeated).
Say you're mine
Claiming ownership or connection (repeated).
Say you need me
Asserting dependence and neediness (repeated).
Help me feel numb, numb, numb
Reiterating the plea for emotional numbness.
Help me feel numb, numb, numb
Repeating the plea for emotional numbness.
Take away the pain I hide
Requesting the removal of hidden pain.
Take away the lonely nights
Asking to eliminate nights of loneliness.
Take away thoughts on my mind
Requesting to clear troubling thoughts.
Stay awake another night
Encouraging staying awake for another night.
Stay awake escape our lives
Encouraging staying awake to escape reality.
Stay awake don't shut your eyes
Encouraging staying awake and avoiding closure.
Help me feel numb, numb, numb
Repeating the plea for emotional numbness.
Help me feel numb, numb, numb
-Help me feel numb, numb, numb
-Help me feel numb, numb, numb
-Help me feel numb
