lirik lagu cee – safety in numbness
[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!lls 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-t, 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 p-ssion, 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 sp-ce and dip
but i find that i fall for ’em real quick
so i found the off switch on my emotions and i fl!cked the b-tch
two women i loved said they wished they never met me
and that i’m selfish, man that left me feeling h-lla 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-t
and the problem is i never even get the b-tterflies no more
this acting cold sh-t sucks, it’s something i ignore
maybe one day soon i’ll move past it
and handle things not like a mean-hearted b-st-rd
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
