Marina And The Diamonds Lyrics

9. Numb

...
One track mind, like a goldfish
Stuck inside my petri dish
I can't breathe, and I can't smile
This better be worth my while
I feel numb most of the time
Lower I get the higher
I'll climb, and I will wonder why
I got dark only to
Shine
Looking for the golden light
Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice
Burn, burn, burn bright
Forgo families, forgo friends
That's how it started, and how it ends
I can't open up and cry
Cause I've been silent all my life
I feel numb most of the time
Lower I get the higher
I'll climb, and I will wonder why
I got dark only to
Shine
Looking for the golden light
Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice
Burn, burn, burn bright
Burn, burn, burn bright
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 light
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
Lower I get the higher
I'll climb, and I will wonder why
I got dark only to shine
And I'll light up the sky
Stars that burn the brightest
Fall so fast and pass you by
Puff like empty lighters
I feel numb most of the time
Lower I get the higher
I'll climb, and I will wonder why
I got dark only to shine
And I'll light up the sky
Stars that burn the brightest
Fall so fast and pass you by
Spark like empty lighters
(end)
