Numb

**NUMB*
Intro (whisper)
Cold room, colder skin
Lights buzz like a hymn
Verse 1
I been floatin' through my bones, anesthetized, slow
Smile stitched on tight, pretend the pain don't show
Phone glow like a moon that don't know my name
Messages like ghosts, all sound and no flame
Tried to pray it out but my prayers turned thin
Tried to feel the world, the world just folded in
Mirror keeps askin', who left me in the snow?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Pre-Chorus (soft)
Every night a river of ghosts on my floor
I keep count of nothing, keep knockin' on a closed door
Chorus (hook)
Numb, numb — heartbeat turned to static
Numb, numb — holy sound automatic
Numb, numb — hollow in the places that used to love me
Numb echoes, call me out but nothing touches
Verse 2 (low, urgent)
Dreams feel like elevators that never go up
Smoke fills the cabin, can't find the button to stop
Laughin' in the dark to drown the tiny screams
I trade my heart for silence, trade my scars for dreams
People talk like light, but they're just distant lamps
I walk through crowds like I'm sleepin' in my stance
Wanna break but my hands won't break the glass
Everything moves fast, but I'm stuck in the past
Pre-Chorus (building)
Tried to let a fire in, it froze on the first breath
Tried to say I'm lonely, the silence answered death
Chorus (hook)
Numb, numb — heartbeat turned to static
Numb, numb — holy sound automatic
Numb, numb — hollow in the places that used to love me
Numb echoes, call me out but nothing touches
Bridge (half whisper / half scream)
Say my name like a key — it don't fit no more
My angels left the building, left a note on the door
I scream into the pillow, the pillow eats my cry
Sky looks like a bruise, I don't wanna know why
Breakdown (soft then loud)
Soft: I float — no anchor, no chain
Loud: I CHOKE — on blessings, on pain
Soft: I beg — for warmth in my chest
Loud: I BREAK — on the edges of my best
Chorus (final)
Numb, numb — heartbeat turned to static
Numb, numb — holy sound automatic
Numb, numb — hollow in the places that used to love me
Numb echoes, call me out but nothing touches
Outro (fading)
Lights hum like a prayer I can't respond to
If silence is a kingdom, I'm already gone to
Numb echoes, keep me from the fall
If feeling is a danger, I choose to feel nothing at all.
