Uncomfortably Numb Lyrics

Got the call, knew something was wrong

Didn't want to assume the worst

But I could tell from the tone of your voice

That the worst had happened

No need to lie to me

The words, I'm sorry for your loss

Like an ice pick, stabbing my eardrums

Well meaning people

Never quite know what to say

When you died I had to keep on living

No time to mourn when the bills keep on stacking

Big salty tears will have to wait to fall

On another day when it's okay to wreck and fall apart

When you died the world kept on turning

No time to cry when you've got to keep on earning

The world don't care what you're dealing with

Gotta live again and push ahead and fight another day

The second time was harder than the first

Felt alone floating through the universe

Unmoored, no connection to the past

Just a dusty old tin of old faded photographs

The pain swallowed down with the daily dose

Of guilt for emotions that I can't control

I can't help it, that my life got easier

Money from a death wasted trying to numb the pain

When you died I had to keep on living

No time to mourn when the bills keep on stacking

Big salty tears will have to wait to fall

On another day when it's okay to wreck and fall apart

When you died the world kept on turning

No time to cry when you've got to keep on earning

The world don't care what you're dealing with

Gotta live again and push ahead and fight another day

Time don't heal, you just hurt a little less

Embrace the numb that is creeping in your chest

Dead don't feel, they feel nothing at all

It's okay to be numb or fall apart

Time don't heal, you just hurt a little less

Embrace the numb that is creeping in your chest

Dead don't feel, they feel nothing at all

It's okay to be numb or fall apart
