MESC 2024:
Stefan Galea - "Numb"

Numb

It's like it never ends
Been livin' in my head, my head
Wish I was somewhere else
Been walking on fine thread
I no longer trust myself, myself, myself

Feelin' under pressure
Haven't crossed the line
So that you feel better, oh-la, oh-la, oh-la
So we go to the bar and we get messed up
Pretendin' like we've never learned
(My therapist says I'm fine)
But I feel numb

Na-na-na, numb (Shh)
Na-na-na, numb (I did)
Na-na-na, numb (Oh no)
Na-na-na, numb
Don't feel my body, don't feel my body, don't feel my body
I'm num-num-numb
Don't feel my body, don't feel my body, don't feel my body
I'm num-num-numb

Memories turn into triggers
Set demands, they stab like daggers
Prescribe my tablet potions
Take away all my emotions
The pain has gone, I feel nothin'
All the joy, still nothin'
I no longer trust myself

Feelin' under pressure
Haven't crossed the line
So that you feel better, oh-la, oh-la, oh-la
So we go to the bar and we get messed up
Pretendin' like we've never learned
(My therapist says I'm fine)
But I feel numb

Na-na-na, numb (Shh)
Na-na-na, numb (I did)
Na-na-na, numb (Oh no)
Na-na-na, numb
Don't feel my body, don't feel my body, don't feel my body
I'm num-num-numb
Don't feel my body, don't feel my body, don't feel my body
I'm num-num-numb

I'm wide awake
But nothing seems to feel the same

So we go to the bar and we get messed up
Pretendin' like we've never learned
(My therapist sayѕ I'm fine)
But I feel numb

Na-na-na, numb (Shh)
Na-na-na, numb (I did)
Na-na-na, numb (Oh no)
Na-na-nа, numb
Don't feel my body, don't feel my body, don't feel my body
I'm num-num-numb
Don't feel my body, don't feel my body, don't feel my body
I'm num-num-numb
