Breaking the Habit

Numb


 


 

 

 

One Step Closer

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words, they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
But you'll find that out anyway
(just like before)

Chorus

Everything you say to me,
takes me one step closer to the edge,
and I'm not about to break.
I need a little room to breath,
cause i'm one step closer to the edge,
and I'm not about to break!

I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish i could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts, they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before...

Chorus(2x)

Shut up when I'm talkin' to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up (2x)

I'm about to break!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And one

Where should I start
Disjointed heart
I've got no commitment
To my own flesh and blood
Left all alone
Far from my home
No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart, I

Keep it locked up inside

Cannot express
To the point I've regressed
If anger's a gift, then I guess I've been blessed, I

Keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies

It's too late to love me now
You helped me to show me
It's too late to love me now
You don't even know me

Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace

Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace

Keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies

Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace

Keep my distance
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
Keep my distance


Breaking the habit

memories consume
like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
you all assume
I'm safe here in my room
[unless I try to start again] 
I don't want to be the one
the battles always choose
cause inside I realize
that I'm the one confused 

I don't know what's worth fighting for
or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
and say what I don't mean
I don't know how Igot this way
Iknow it's not alright
so I'm
breaking the habit 2x
tonight

clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
than anytime before
I had no options left again 

I don't want to be the one
the battles always choose
cause inside i realize
that I'm the one confused 

I don't know what's worth fighting for
or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
and say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
so I'm
breaking the habit 2x
tonight


I'll paint it on the walls
cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
and this is how it ends 

I don't know what's worth fighting for
or why I have to scream
but now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
so I'm
breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
tonight!!!!!!!!!

By Myself

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (Myself)

Pre chorus:
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me 'till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
(By myself)

Pre chorus
Chorus

How do you think I've lost so much
I'm so afraid, I'm out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to

Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside

Chorus (2x)


Carousel

She can't hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguise behind her lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight, staring at her inside
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family asking if she’s all right
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well all she's gotta do is stop kidding herself

She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long

I'm too weak to face me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me

When it comes to how to live his life
He can't be told
Says he's got it all under control
Thinks he knows it's not a problem he’s stuck with
But in reality, it'd be a problem to just quit
An addict and he can't hold the reigns
The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the problem he's got
But can't get off the carousel
Until he makes it stop

He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long

I'm too weak to face me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me

Try to fly with the wings I gave you
Try to do what you believe and I'll save you
Try to fly with the wings I gave you
Try to do what you believe and I'll save you
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me

Crawling

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling

I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Chorus

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem...

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Chorus (Repeat until end)

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending

Don't stay

sometimes I
need to remember just to breathe
sometimes I
need you to stay away from me
sometimes I'm
in disbelief i didn't know
somehow I
need you to go
sometimes I
feel like I trusted you too well
sometimes I
just feel like screaming at myself
sometimes I'm
in disbelief I didn't know
somehow I
need to be alone

don't stay
forget our memories
forget our possibilities
what you were changing me into
[just give me myself back and]
don't stay
forget our memories
forget our possibilities
take all your faithlessness with you
[just give me myself back and]
don't stay


I don't need you anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day
of you wasting me away

with no apologies

Drag

I'm drowning
Make me feel
Like I am real
Torture me
Drag me under you

Time
Lifts me up and down
Time
Makes me
SHUT UP

Life is much too short to be
Intoxicated
Life is much too short to be
A drag

Please treat me
Like I am a fallen angel
Surpress me
Tell me
LIES

Life is much too short to be
Intoxicated
Life is much too short to be
A drag

You can't tell me lies

Life is much too short to be
Intoxicated
Life is much too short to be
A DRAG

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

DRAG!
DRAG!
DRAG!

Easier to run

its easier to run
replacing this pain with something numb
its so much easier to go
than face all this pain here all alone

something has been taken
from deep inside of me
a secret I've kept locked away
no one can ever see
wounds so deep they never show
they never go away
like moving pictures in my head
for years and years they've played

if I could change I would
take back the pain I would
retrace every wrong move that I made I would
if I could
stand up and take the blame I would
if I could take all the shame to the grave I would

if I could change I would
take back the pain I would
retrace every wrong move that I made I would
if I could
stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

its easier to run
replacing this pain with something numb
its so much easier to go
than face all this pain here all alone

sometimes I remember
the darkness of my past
bringing back these memories 
I wish I didn't have
sometimes I think of letting go
and never looking back
and never moving forward so
there would never be a past

if I could change I would
take back the pain I would
retrace every wrong move that I made I would
if I could
stand up and take the blame I would
if I could take all the shame to the grave I would

if I could change I would
take back the pain I would
retrace every wrong move that I made I would
if I could
stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

just washing it aside
all of the helplessness inside
pretending I don't feel so misplaced
is so much simpler than change

its easier to run
replacing this pain with something numb
its so much easier to go
than face all this pain here all alone
