Keep Me Numb

(Verse 1)

I’m only here cuz your heartbeat feels like a habit I can’t quit.

We’re shaking hands in the dark, trying to find a match that hasn’t been lit.

I don’t know where you end and where the cravings start to bleed,

But you’ve become the only version of the oxygen I need.

It’s a hollow kind of comfort, a slow-motion crash in my chest,

Giving up the ghost just to put the shaking limbs to rest.

(Chorus)

We’re drowning in the shallow end, holding our breath,

Thinking this love is a matter of life or death.

But we’re just two anchors tied at the chain,

Sinking together in the gravity of the drain.

The more that I need you, the more I’m erased,

Stuck in the bitter aftertaste

Of a toxic high we can’t outrun,

Two broken souls waiting for a sun.

(Verse 2)

You scream that you’re leaving, but you’re just circling the floor,

Waitin' for me to be the one who’s begging at the door.

We’re trading our skin just to keep the fever high,

Sharing the same sickness under a blackened sky.

There’s nothing left, just the weight of what we crave,

digging the same dirt just to find a common grave.

(Bridge)

(Heavy, palm-muted build-up)

I’m addicted to the way you break.

I’m addicted to the mess we make.

I hate you for the way I stay,

But I’m terrified to walk away.

Yeah, I’m terrified to walk away!

(Chorus)

We’re drowning in the shallow end, holding our breath,

Thinking this love is a matter of life or death.

But we’re just two anchors tied at the chain,

Sinking together in the gravity of the drain.

The more that I need you, the more I’m erased,

Stuck in the bitter aftertaste

Of a toxic high we can’t outrun,

Two broken souls waiting for a sun.

(Outro)

Waiting for a sun...

It never comes.

(Just keep me numb)

Just keep me numb!!

Ohh I’m just waiting for a sun!

It never comes

No it never comes!!

So keep me numb

Keep me numb
