Novocaine

(album: The Dark - 2023)

I think I might've messed up
Last night, I talked about my past
Somehow, you make me stay stuff
That I never have
I'm in new territory
Somehow, it kinda feels like home
I stayed until the morning
Usually, I go

Tell me, what did you do?
I was kinda getting used to

Feeling down bad, uptight
Sticking to my hardline
Tell me that I'm alright
Lighten up and live a little
Ice cold, blood type
Talking, but I'm tongue tied
Looking to my left, right
Now you got me in the middle
I'm in and outta my mind
Had every part of me try
Telling you "no way"
Thinking maybe my veins
Need a little Novocaine
I'm feeling for the first time
I'm feeling for the first time

Got good at being apathetic
Thinking with a one-track mind
I've said the word but never meant it
Now I'm thinking twice

When you touch my body
It's an out-of-body experience
Don't know how you manage
I thought all my damage was permanent

Feeling down bad, uptight
Sticking to my hardline
Tell me that I'm alright
Lighten up and live a little
Ice cold, blood type
Talking, but I'm tongue tied
Looking to my left, right
Now you got me in the middle
I'm in and outta my mind
Had every part of me try
Telling you "no way"
Thinking maybe my veins
Need a little Novocaine
I'm feeling for the first time
I'm feeling for the first time

Tell me, what did you do?
I was kinda getting used to

Feeling down bad, uptight
Sticking to my hardline
Tell me that I'm alright
Lighten up and live a little
Ice cold, blood type
Talking, but I'm tongue tied
Looking to my left, right
Now you got me in the middle
I'm in and outta my mind
Had every part of me try
Telling you "no way"
Thinking maybe my veins
Need a little Novocaine

I'm feeling for the first time
