i've been asked what it's like to feel numb from the neck down
i don't know but there might be gap in my chest where i can feel
but all i feel is you
i know it's not right but you don't know that
i've been asked what it's like to be numb from the neck up
my eyes don't see things for what they are, seeing imperfect as perfect
my brain doesn't have a brake pedal
and my mouth doesn't know when enough is enough
i've been asked what it's like to feel numb from the knees down
from the too many times i collapse into my own self pity
landing hard on my shins bruising them til they're as black as my mind
i've been asked what it's like to feel numb from the elbows down
cutting circulation off from my hands
handcuffing myself to the idea of you
i've been asked what it's like to feel numb
i don't know
i'm numb
what did you expect?
