Up Above the Numbness
Numb the pain, throbbing inside me
My faith has crumbled into crumbs of deception
Numb the pain, coursing through my veins
You're keeping me sane and I'd like to thank you for that
In the desert of desolation,
I feel this all-to-familiar frustration...
I yearn for something more
You're the one that I adore
You deserted me long ago
The wind moves to and fro
I'm getting weary
I'm getting teary
Trying to purge sin out of my life
It's easier said than done
I'm still missing California's sun
To obliterate and burn away the strife
Your radiant shine
Makes me wish you were mine
Please don't leave me and let me go tonight
Shine a light my direction with undying might
Despite your flaws,
Your beauty shows
You're my beautiful dove
Up above the world of hatred
Even though the crow caws,
Your dove-like features glow
I'm thinking of your love
Up above my despicable dread
Despite your decisions,
I'm going to love you still
You're my pretty lullaby
Up above the Earth of cursed confusion
Even though I have unaccomplished missions,
You're my thousand thrills
I'm bedshaped in your goodbye
Up above my vision of derision
My imagination is going haywire,
Burning with utmost desire
Churning with passionate fire
And sheer ire that will never tire
In my elegant, eloquent empire
Seek the truth, you little liar
You're the one that I admire
You lift my high spirits higher and higher
Singing joyously in a brilliant choir
