Lyrics Marina & the Diamonds

Marina & the Diamonds

Numb

One track mind like a gold fish

Stuck inside my Petri dish

I can't breathe and I can't smile

This better be worth my while

I feel numb most of the time

The lower I get the higher I'll climb

And I will wonder why

I got dark only to shine

Looking for the golden light

Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice

Burn, burn, burn bright

Forgo family, forgo friends

It's how it started, how it ends

I can't open up and cry

'Cause I've been silent all my life

I feel numb most of the time

The lower I get the higher I'll climb

And I will wonder why

I got dark only to shine

Looking for the golden light

Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice

Burn, burn, burn bright

Burn, burn, burn bright

Oh, I get dark oh and I'm in hell

I need a friend, oh but I can't yell

Yeah, I'm no good, no good to anyone

'Cause all I care about is being number one

Shine, looking for the golden light

Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice

Shine, looking for the golden light

Oh it's a reasonable sacrifice (sacrifice)

I feel numb most of the time

The lower I get the higher I'll climb

And I will wonder why

I got dark only to shine

And I light up the sky

Stars that burn the brightest

Fall so fast and pass you by

Cough like empty lighters

I feel numb most of the time

The lower I get the higher I'll climb

And I will wonder why

I get dark only to shine

And I light up the sky

Stars that burn the brightest

Fall so fast and pass you by

Spark like empty lighters
