Novocain

I used to be so young

But now I'm oh so beaten down

My friends are nowhere to be found

I find myself alone

I could have been someone

But now my name is a just a ghost

My reputation is a joke

My eyes won't cry

So could you pass me the needle?

I want a brand new scar

I need a shot of Novocain

To numb my heart

Could you pass me the bottle?

Make it something hard

Cause there ain't enough

Novocain to numb my broken heart

I tried to get ahead

But life has always been unjust

It's grinding dreams into the dust and

I've had my fill

Please could you spare a dime

I need to wet my aching throat

So I can say goodbye to hope

It's sure been swell
