Numb

[Vs] Numb to the king and I’m

Numb to the newsreels

I pour salt in my wounds to remember how it feels

How to feel anything at all

[Vs] Wake up alone 

Dressed in my day clothes

The noise from the bar next door

Shouldn’t all those people be at home

God, why can’t they go home

[Ch] I think I left a young man aching

‘Cause he couldn’t live like me

Numb to all the residents 

Living in his screen

[Vs] He says I don’t care - I don't

Care if he’s right - It might 

All look the same or different

In a different light 

In a different life 

[Vs] And I’m numb to the noise

Numb to the nonsense 

Tell me now boys

Do you think all of this static’s heaven sent

Are there angels on the airwaves 

[Ch] I kept an idle hand on progress 

Oh ‘cause you can’t get ahead of yourself 

There’s no feeling left to feel I ain’t already felt

I keep an idle hand on the throttle

‘Cause there’s only room for one kind of love

It’s the kind that takes to leaving 

When the love leaves you numb 

It’s the kind that takes to leaving

When good ain’t good enough
