I'm just trying to breathe but it's a slow collapse
Mask on tight yeah it's a cold relapse
Fighting the shadows in a silent war
Stumbling through each night still askin' for more
Numb to the morning numb to the fear
When the silence hits I'm still standing here
Counting the scars that line my skin
Thinking of a way just to feel again
Keep me numb numb numb take me away
Let me drift let me drift let me fade each day
Holdin' on holdin' on don't let me drown
In the calm of the storm I'm just breaking down
Keep me numb numb numb don't let me feel
Wrap me up tight in a world that ain't real
Holdin' on holdin' on to what I don't see
I'm stuck in the dark yeah it's all I can be
Each pill like a prayer to the fight inside
In a sea of smoke where the fears reside
Mind's on fire but I'm frozen still
Silent scream but I swallow the pill
I walk like a ghost but I feel the weight
Dragging through life at a hollow rate
Depression's deep and the days just bleed
Searching for something that I'll never need
Keep me numb numb numb take me away
Let me drift let me drift let me fade each day
Holdin' on holdin' on don't let me drown
In the calm of the storm I'm just breaking down
Keep me numb numb numb don't let me feel
Wrap me up tight in a world that ain't real
Holdin' on holdin' on to what I don't see
I'm stuck in the dark yeah it's all I can be
Falling deeper in a quiet haze
Lost in the echoes the blurry maze
All I got is this one disguise
Locked in a battle behind closed eyes
Don't save me now I'm too far gone
In the grip of a calm before the dawn
Can't face the truth so I let it slide
Hide in the numbness it's my only guide
Keep me numb numb numb take me away
Let me drift let me drift let me fade each day
Holdin' on holdin' on don't let me drown
In the calm of the storm I'm just breaking down
Keep me numb numb numb don't let me feel
Wrap me up tight in a world that ain't real
Holdin' on holdin' on to what I don't see
I'm stuck in the dark yeah it's all I can be
Just keep me numb numb numb
Let the silence hum hum hum
Hold me close till it's all a blur
In this empty shell it's all I prefer
