Lyrics Dave Dobbyn

Dave Dobbyn

Lament for the Numb

I found no peace

Lived like a shy fearful child

I couldn't feel a thing

Unless it was suffered gladly

Somehow for atonement

An ever nameless dread

And it's not like I lived it

It's like I read about it

In someone else's book

And I know this is foolish

But it etches in - to the fibre of your heart

Hold it right there I'm gonna show you something pure

And I could always have stayed there

Never to have played my hand

The Lament for the Numb

The battle memory remains here

Only to be fought and won

The Lament for the Numb

And now the journey repays me

Lose all the baggage for one

The Lament for the Numb

The Lament for the Numb

And now she breathes on me

And I'm so full of fire

To burn a trail ahead

If this is just a moment

It's alright I cupped my hands

Forever round your heart

If this is what it feels like

Forever round your heart

Hold it right there I'm gonna show you something pure

And you could always remain here

If only to walk by my side - The Lament for the Numb

And you will always remain here

Never to suffer my pride

The Lament for the Numb

And there is so much to gain here

Lose all the demons and lies

The Lament for the Numb

And with a love running deeper I won't tag along for

the ride

The Lament for the Numb

The Lament for the Numb

It's not like I lived it

The Lament for the Numb

It's just like I lived it
