Numb Songtext

von Wellu Rowaltz

The bottle was broken
But I never yelled: cut
A window was open
Thought I heard someone say, "Jump"

What if I'd just turn my back?
What if I was built that way?
I've empathized
But I'm done with it
Down with it, Numb

My well-groomed reactions, I've gleaned from TV
The self-satisfaction as tears they drop
My needy emotions
To all I don't feel
Our seedy devotion won't stop

What if I'd just turn my back?
What if I was built that way?
I've empathized
But I'm done with it
Done with it!

And we shake as we cope
And we pray when we don't
And we fake
And we fake
And we, break

What if I rewrote my past?
What if you were here today?

What if I'd just turn my back?
What if I was built that way?
I've empathized
But I'm done with it
Down with it, numb
