Numb lyrics

One track mind like a gold fish

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.

The 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 family, forgo friends, --

It's how it started, how it ends.

I can open up and cry,

Coz I've been silent 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 light.

Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice.

Burn, burn, burn bright...

Burn, burn, burn bright...

Oh, I get dark oh and I'm in hell...!

I need a friend, oh but I can't yell.

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

Coz 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,

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 get 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...
