Novocaine

And 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?

It's 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
