Numb - The Airborne Toxic Event

I’ve been in a daze

It seems like days that I’ve been waiting

For this dream to pass

It goes so fast

It seems nothing lasts

I think I’ve lost something

Stuck here with these people wide awake

The crush of bodies in one space

I feel your hot breath on my tongue

I wonder where you’ve gone

In the ever turning spinning wheel

Of people, places lies I feel

The restless beat of the sleepless night to come

I just want to be numb

I just want to be numb

Hopeless these three years like smoking gears

I go from place to place

Just aimlessly and half asleep

Like I’m falling alone in some endless breach

I don’t know where I am

I don’t know what I’ve done

I just go over and over it, again and again and again

I can’t sleep at night

I can’t breathe

But If I drink tonight I’ll get you off my mind

In the ever present pit

I feel I’m turning on some spinning wheel

Of faces and the scenes I see

And none of it seems real to me

Just the bleary haze of the morning still to come

I just want to be numb
