First my fingers go numb and I can't feel my lips So I drink your presence like I drink cheap tequila Rough at first But after a couple sips, smooth as water You touch me but my body is without sensation Something different is pumping through my veins And Novacane blocks any feeling From the pain that comes as you cut me open My blood drains but I don't sense it Ignorance is bliss, they used to tell me That is until you're facedown in a pillow With the life escaping one strained breath at a time My teeth clench and my knees lock I can't help it but tomorrow I'll feel it If tomorrow comes Songs about feeling high in love I don't want that What happens when you're too high To notice the person in front of you Is the one pushing your face down The Devil Incarnate? Naiveté suits you, Honey And so does misery

Love Me, Misery
First my fingers go numb and I can't feel my lips So I drink your presence like I drink cheap tequila Rough at first But after a couple sips, smooth as water You touch me but my body is without sensation Something different is pumping through my veins And Novacane blocks any feeling From the pain that comes as you cut me open My blood drains but I don't sense it Ignorance is bliss, they used to tell me That is until you're facedown in a pillow With the life escaping one strained breath at a time My teeth clench and my knees lock I can't help it but tomorrow I'll feel it If tomorrow comes Songs about feeling high in love I don't want that What happens when you're too high To notice the person in front of you Is the one pushing your face down The Devil Incarnate? Naiveté suits you, Honey And so does misery
