Numb

(album: Off The Cuff - 2018)

Feeling like I need a cold drink
Feel like if I don't I'm gonna sing
Why you think I smoke it away
'Cause I just don't like feeling no pain
Drugs are like my soldiers
And I know that when I take it's gon' be over
When I'm feeling like the victim and the culprit
Ain't nobody ever told me how to cope with it
Scars can fade I know it takes time
Just tell 'em I'm fine
Just wear a fixed smile
Don't pay me no mind
I can't erase it
No I can't face it
But when I chase it
My heart stops racing

So I can't
For the love of me
Just let it be
When it cuts too deep
No I can't
I'ma pour that drink
Till I just can't think
Until all my feelings are gone

Sometimes all that I can do
Is numb the pain away
There's nothing more that I can do
It's more than I can take

Sometimes all that I can do
Is numb the pain away
There's nothing more that I can do
It's more than I can take

'Cause all my friends are not friends
They be on some fake shit
People that I love left me in some dark shit
I can keep on going, I got hella stories
Got some shit I don't wanna think about yeah
Keeps me up at night always on my mind
Try to let it slide, I can't let it slide
'Cause I got all these demons chilling inside me
They fighting over who gets to ride with me

And lately I don't know myself now
I'm turning into someone I don't know
My soul is sick, proceed with caution
When I'm slipping I can't feel what I've been lost in

So I can't
For the love of me
Just let it be
When it cuts too deep
No I can't
I'ma pour that drink
Till I just can't think
Until all my feelings are gone

Sometimes all that I can do
Is numb the pain away
There's nothing more that I can do
It's more than I can take

Sometimes all that I can do
Is numb the pain away
There's nothing more that I can do
It's more than I can take

('Cause you are my soldier
'Cause you are my friend
'Cause you are my soldier
'Cause you are my friend
'Cause you are my soldier
'Cause you are my friend
'Cause you are my soldier
'Cause you are my friend)
