Marina and The Diamonds

Numb

One track mind like a gold fish

Stuck inside my petri-dish

I can't breath and I can't smile

This better be worth my while

I feel numb most of the time

The lower I get the higher I'll climb

And I will wonder why

I got dark only to shine

Looking for the golden life

Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice, p-p-p-pride

Forgo family, forgo friends

It's how it started, how it ends

I can open up and cry

'Cause I've been saddened all my life

I feel numb most of the time

The lower I get the higher I'll climb

And I will wonder why

I got dark only to shine

Looking for the golden life

Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice, p-p-p-pride

P-p-p-pride

Ooh, I get dark, oh, and I'm in hell

I need a friend, ooh, but I can't yell

Yeah, I'm no good, no good to anyone

'Cause all I care about is being number one

Shine, looking for the golden life

Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice

Shine, looking for the golden light

Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice, sacrifice

I feel numb most of the time

The lower I get the higher I'll climb

And I will wonder why

I got dark only to shine

And I light up the sky

Stars that burn the brightest

Fall so fast and pass you by

Cough like empty lighters

I feel numb most of the time

The lower I get the higher I'll climb

And I will wonder why

I got dark only to shine

And I light up the sky

Stars that burn the brightest

Fall so fast and pass you by

Spark like empty lighters
