I'm so sick of being numb

Traded in the good times to not feel the bad

Now it's been so fuckin' long

It's like feelings are a language I don't even understand

And I'm watching my own life

Play out like a movie on a tv screen

Yeah, I guess I like the writing

But I just don't really connect well with the lead

I built a dam for my emotions and a stone wall around my heart

But dams are bound break and stone walls are bound to fall apart

I think I'm done with being numb

I'll take all the burns to feel the heat of the flame

I think I'm done with being numb

Cause a heart can't feel love without the risk of a break

And if I'm crying then I know that I'll be laughing pretty soon

Cause a rainbow only comes after a thunderstorm is through

I'm fuckin' done with being numb

Break the dam, knock the wall down, ready to feel alive

I been wasting all this time

Just going through the motions, I been playing it safe

Thinking I'm tough cause I don't cry

When really I been too damn scared to face my pain

And while I'm running from my life

I'm hurting every person who tries to get close

Cause all their love goes unrequited

I leave 'em broken hearted, they leave me alone

I built a dam for my emotions and a stone wall around my heart

But dams are bound break and stone walls are bound to fall apart

I think I'm done with being numb

I'll take all the burns to feel the heat of the flame

I think I'm done with being numb

Cause a heart can't feel love without the risk of a break

And if I'm crying then I know that I'll be laughing pretty soon

Cause a rainbow only comes after a thunderstorm is through

I'm fuckin' done with being numb

Break the dam, knock the wall down, ready to feel alive

In order to move forward I gotta go back to where it started

To flip the switch back on I gotta stop running from my trauma

In order to move forward I gotta go back to where it started

Go back and feel it, process and experience, to heal enough to let my guard down

I'm fucking I'm done with being numb

I'll take all the burns to feel the heat of the flame

I think I'm done with being numb

Cause a heart can't feel love without the risk of a break

And if I'm crying then I know that I'll be laughing pretty soon

Cause a rainbow only comes after a thunderstorm is through

I'm fuckin' done with being numb

Break the dam, knock the wall down, ready to feel alive
