Lyrics
Numb
Another shooting on the news
AK 15's on the rise
Another incident in plain view
More bloodshed, more cries
It's like any other day,
The innocent fall, they fall, they fall
It all fades away, fades away
As if nothing ever happened at all
I should feel pain
I should feel sadness
But to tell you the truth, I feel nothing, I feel nothing at all
Chorus:
I am completely numb
We've become, we've become completely numb
I am completely numb
We've become completely numb, I'm so numb, I'm so numb, I'm so numb, I'm so numb
I'm completely numb, we've become completely numb...I'm so numb
As bodies are dropping left and right
You want to keep your guns in plain sight
Apparently, there is no cost
For all the lives lost
Everyone wants to play a game
Rather than look for a solution
In bringing peace , bringing peace to this confusion
In the end, we are all to blame, all to blame
How did we get to this place
Where no love lives matter
No matter, no matter the race
Chorus:
I am completely numb
We've become, we've become completely numb
I am completely numb
We've become completely numb, I'm so numb, I'm so numb, I'm so numb, I'm so numb
I'm completely numb, we've become completely numb...I'm so numb
Bridge:
You close your eyes
I switch the channel
You turn your back
We go back to the same thing day after day
You close your eyes
I switch the channel
You turn your back
We go back to the same thing day after day
Chorus:
I am completely numb
We've become, we've become completely numb
I am completely numb
We've become completely numb, I'm so numb, I'm so numb, I'm so numb, I'm so numb
I'm completely numb, we've become completely numb...I'm so numb
