Numb

Make myself cold

keep myself numb

you try to crack my shell

but i don't want to open myself up to you!

get that through your head!

i make myself cold

to keep you away

i make myself numb

to not feel you control me

unfeeling and freezing

i don't feel human

 

NO! i have to be real!

I can feel it...

I have to be a person!

i won't lock myself up because of you.

I realize it's not me keeping me numb,

it's your control

making me cold.

well now i REFUSE YOU!

I won't STAND for this!

you won't control me anymore, because

I'M NOT NUMB!
