Numb Yourself - Citizen

Mourn to cut through

I found your merit in a furrow nearby

Mourn to save you, your own beholder

Your own beholder

These walls are built so you can confide

They’re painted handsomely so you abide

This glass is colored black so close your eyes

Numb yourself and you will stay inside

Benign, blame yourself

A feeble rodent can only withstand so much

Knives point at me when you are guilty

You are guilty

Pay it forward until you are free

Nothing else is worth it, only me

Settle your wounds

Fill your cup with something new

Salt your wounds

Strip yourself from what you knew

I’ve placed the boards across your windows

I’ve nailed your hands so you can kiss the floor

A blanket suffocates the things you know

Numb yourself, like you did before
