Numb

I have my dubious motives

for my fatuous friends

I have a need to be needed

and feel superior again

and I'd rather be shallow

blind deaf and dumb

I can't afford the risk of

feeling anything but numb

(oh no! - shhh! can you see me? can you see me? don't come too close to my exposure - I can't expose myself -not to anyone - do you hear me?- not to anyone)

and I am such a coward

and I am such a fake

I like too keep my pulse down

to soothe this beating ache

(oh no! - shhh! can you see me? can you see me? don't come too close to my exposure - I can't expose myself -not to anyone - do you hear me?- not to anyone)

I have my dubious motives

for my fatuous friends

I have a need to be needed

and feel superior again

and I'd rather be shallow

blind deaf and dumb

I can't afford the risk of

feeling anything but numb
