Novocaine

Why does every street here look the same?

Yet there's so many here, see the faces, they're glad they came

A city sucking all the life in me

So I've been using you to get what I need

It's not so typical, so hypocritical for me to act this way

But novocaine sets in and I pretend the real is fake

See the master strike up his band to play

The music screams in me but I don't hear a single thing

Oh, novocaine

Just get it out of me, it's getting hard to breathe in here

I'm going insane

So in the state I'm in, I'd give in to almost anything

I'm not the monster that you claim I am

If I could shed some light in here, then I could make you understand

It's not this atmosphere that makes you become

What it is you hate the most, 'cause being dead is feeling numb

Oh, novocaine

Just get it out of me, it's getting hard to breathe in here

I'm going insane

So in the state I'm in, I'd give in to almost anything

Novocaine

This is the way I feel, it's just another vicious wheel

Spinning Spinning Spinning in anxiety

The weight of it can crush you

and steal your dignity

There's light here at this tunnel's end

All I can do is recommend

don't give it away

Do you feel something?

Well let the light in

I'll keep on searching here 'cause I think I could

Just get me off the streets of hollow Hollywood

All systems in place (Don't worry about a thing you'll find)

Sensation, separation, isolation, this foundation,

worn by countless obligations. lies and desperation

[repeat]
