From the recording NUMB
Numb explores the feeling of being overwhelmed to the point where emotions begin to shut down. It reflects on how carrying too much for too long can leave you disconnected from what you’re feeling, even when you want to feel something. The song sits in that quiet space between emotional overload and emotional absence.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I'm numb now
You took all my words away
Won't react now
Cause I have nothing left to say
Yeah I'm numb now
So stop asking if I'm okay
I'm just numb now
Are you done now
Tryna act like there's another way
It's too late now
I refuse to make the same mistake
Say you've changed now
But I know the way the story plays
And I'm numb now
Pre Chorus
How can I let you in again
Watch you break in then leave me broken
Look myself in the mirror
Struggle to recognise her
How can I let you in again
Put myself through your shit again
Yeah you say I'm heartless
But you built this fortress
Chorus
And I'm numb now
I'm numb
I'm numb now
I'm numb
Altro
I let you break me one time
Won't let you break me two times
I let you break me one time
Won't let you break me two times
