Name: Numb
Duration: P00H03M21S
Description: We all have ways to escape our emotions and shortcomings. If we are not careful, those methods of numbing will be our undoing. If those coping mechanisms had a voice, what would they say? That is what this song is about. It took me three years to write this song. I had a bit of lyrical help from Clint Curry.

lyrics

Slow down, tell me what you need
Tell me what you think about everything
Breath in, take it easy baby.
I am here.

Whisper, tell me all your secrets
I will never tell a soul how you feel
Stay here, don't close yourself off again
Let me in.

Like novocaine, I'll take away your deepest pain
And cover up your hidden shame
It's only good for tears and loathing
Stay with m, you'll never have to feel a thing
I will make your days worth living
Let me numb you

Let go, freedom's overrated
It will only disappoint, disapprove
Trust me, You can't live without me
Here your safe

Like novocaine, I'll take away your deepest pain
And cover up your hidden shame
It's only good for tears and loathing
Stay with m, you'll never have to feel a thing
I will make your days worth living
Let me numb you

Let me numb you...

Like novocaine, I'll take away your deepest pain
And cover up your hidden shame
It's only good for tears and loathing
Stay with m, you'll never have to feel a thing
I will make your days worth living
Let me numb you

about

Bear Cline Buffalo, West Virginia

My favorite quote: "Wise men say forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza." I think my music is pretty good. I'm a lover not a fighter. I like riding my e-bike and playing video games.
