Numb

Heart heavy, lungs too tight,

City lights fade, swallowed by the night.

Diamonds on my wrist, but the shine feels wrong,

Crying in a Benz, same sad song.

I chase the rush, but the high don't stay,

Empty bottle friends, they fade away.

Numb, can't feel the fire burn,

Numb, the wheel won’t even turn.

Numb, I’ve been drowning in the deep,

Numb, but the silence helps me sleep.

Smoke clouds drift, thoughts turn to static,

Memories glitch, love’s automatic.

Gold chain tight, it’s a leash on my neck,

Dreams in the red, now my soul’s in debt.

Phone full of names, none that I can call,

Running from myself, but I hit a wall.

Numb, can't feel the fire burn,

Numb, the wheel won’t even turn.

Numb, I’ve been drowning in the deep,

Numb, but the silence helps me sleep.
