Cee - Safety In Numbness lyrics

[Verse 1: Paul Dempsey] Got glue in your feathers What brought you to this? A flightless bird surrounded by Red handed kids In their borrowed black sheep's clothes Now everybody's in on the joke So practice your boredom Look a thousand times removed Cause only a freak would sing In a crowded waiting room They would turn you out in the cold Because everybody's in on the joke [Hook: Paul Dempsey] Are you missing a stranger That you might have loved? Do you feel that there's something You don't feel enough? There's a perfectly good poison For the perfectly numb If you want some [Cee] It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's like [Verse 2: Paul Dempsey] But naming the feeling It just, it k**s the charade And if flowers should bloom Upon your wallpaper face It will follow you everywhere you go Because everybody's in on the joke Desire only burns And envy's always green A mind can only race And a heart, it can only beat There's these towering neon signs We must uphold To keep out the blackness And run with the blue Now only a fool would sing As if he's telling the truth Could you swallow down That lump in your throat? Because everybody's in on the joke [Hook: Paul Dempsey] Are you missing a stranger That you might have loved? Do you feel that there's something You don't feel enough? There's a perfectly good poison.... Are you missing a stranger That you might have loved? Do you feel that there's something You don't feel enough? There's a perfectly good poison For the perfectly numb If you want some [Verse: Cee] If you want some... It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's like Everyone's in on it, so I get a bit Defensive and sh**, gotta bite my lip Hold the feelings in, keep a straight face for them Though it's resulting in numbing experiences But it's for the best, men ain't supposed to feel Emotions stay repressed, yet it's this close to real, So I travel this path of my pa**ion, kid I ain't no thespian but I can act a bit, And it seems every woman wants relationships I brush 'em off, tell 'em that I need some space and dip But I find that I fall for 'em real quick So I found the off switch on my emotions and I flicked the b**h Two women I loved said they wished they never met me And that I'm selfish, man that left me feeling hella empty, Eleven years around broads and no me time Has got me overdue for the single life, though I seemed fine Every new chick diggin' my indifference Figuring they can change my mind, I'm stubborn as sh** And the problem is I never even get the bu*terflies no more This acting cold sh** s**s, it's something I ignore Maybe one day soon I'll move past it And handle things not like a mean-hearted ba*tard Until then, I need time to overcome it At this point man, I like to find my safety in numbness Until then, I need time to overcome it At this point y'all, I like to find my safety in numbness
