lyrics

Everything is more messed up than we're letting on
The television says I ain't got it so bad
Still the endless drag of days, they keep on eating away
At every part of me 'til I can't tell what's wrong
Yeah that's the way it is

Every night I'm waking up and driving off the dread
Convince myself I ain't got it so bad
Right when the water's looking clear, I'm down drowning in my fears
And I can't see the hand trying to pull me up

I don't need your sympathy
But can you help me not feel numb maybe for a little while
I won't leave my apathy
Can you help me not feel numb maybe for a little while

I don't need your sympathy
But can you help me not feel numb maybe for a little while
I won't leave my apathy
Can you help me not feel numb maybe for a little while

Can you help me not feel numb maybe for a little while
Can you help me not feel numb maybe for a little while
Can you help me not feel numb maybe for a little while
Can you help me not feel numb maybe for a little while
Can you help me not feel numb maybe for a little while
Can you help me not feel numb maybe for a little while
Can you help me not feel numb maybe for a little while
