Numb
Giving anything just to feel something
numbness from depression is worse than pain
my body's gone numb, away from life's sting
i've gone numb from a shot of nova cane.
with a smile i put my fears to the test
just taking a chance, waltzing on thin air
go diving in without holding my breath
i would not have jumped in if you were there.
from my depression comes the apathy
my blood flow stops and haults the healing
inside your eyes i see the empathy
but it is meaningless without feeling.
i see your face and it seems unreal
i then remember what is like to feel.
