"Novocaine" lyrics

Do you remember the way
You used to tell me it's okay
Cause I can't remember
Those days
Those days

Overthinking the past
Where'd it slip away
Safe to say that the new me's here to stay
Can I catch the way the sickness came
Stole my pain
Novocaine yeah
I succumb
It keeps me numb
It's not alright
It's not alright
It's not okay

Trying to feel like I'm alive
How many times have I survived
But I won't change
Trying to feel like I'm alive
But you know
You know
I know you couldn't change me anyway

And I can't find the words to say
I'm a helpless mess
How can I stress
A symptom slips right through my veins
Catch the way the sickness came
Stole my pain
Novocaine yeah
I succumb
It keeps me numb
I'm not okay

Trying to feel like I'm alive
How many times have I survived
But I won't change
Trying to feel like I'm alive
But you know
You know
I know you couldn't change me anyway

If you still want to sing
Fill in the blanks we need, you can do it through me while you're gone

In time the price of peace will cost us everything
But all the love you leave carries on

So you can sing while you're away
Tell me the words you want to say
Give them to me and I'll relay
But know it just won't be the same

Trying to feel like I'm alive
How many times have I survived
But I won't change
Trying to feel like I'm alive
But you know
You know
I know you couldn't change me anyway
But you know
You know
I know you couldn't change me anyway
