Numb the Pain
(Verse 1)
Late nights, dark room, mind on a loop
Demons in my head and they all want proof
That I’m strong, that I’m tough, that I won’t break down
But the silence gets loud when nobody’s around
Got a bottle on the table and a line on the glass
Trying to outrun ghosts from my past
Smoke in the air like a storm in my brain
Every puff, every sip just numbs the pain
I been running from the memories I can’t erase
Every scar got a story that time can’t replace
So I light one up just to slow the rain
White lines on the mirror trying to numb the pain
(Chorus)
Yeah I drink, yeah I smoke, yeah I ride that wave
Trying to bury every thought that I couldn’t save
Got a heart full of hurt and a soul in chains
So I pour another shot just to numb the pain
Clouds in the room and the night’s insane
Got a line on the glass and a mind untamed
Every high just another way to escape the rain
Yeah I’m living every night trying to numb the pain
(Verse 2)
Ash in the tray and the weed burn slow
Thinking bout the places I used to go
Back when life didn’t feel this cold
Back when dreams didn’t feel so old
But time keeps moving like a runaway train
And regret keeps knocking like a hurricane
So I roll another one and I spark that flame
Trying to quiet all the thunder in my brain
Mirror on the wall but I don’t look long
Hard to face the man when you feel this wrong
But tomorrow’s just another fight to maintain
Till then I’m in the dark trying to numb the pain
(Chorus)
Yeah I drink, yeah I smoke, yeah I ride that wave
Trying to bury every thought that I couldn’t save
Got a heart full of hurt and a soul in chains
So I pour another shot just to numb the pain
Clouds in the room and the night’s insane
Got a line on the glass and a mind untamed
Every high just another way to escape the rain
Yeah I’m living every night trying to numb the pain
(Outro)
But deep down I know this road ain’t right
Just borrowed peace for a broken night
One day I’ll stand in the sun again
But tonight I’m just trying to numb the pain.
