lyrics

NUMB
© 2005 Halie Loren
(Jammin' Salmon Music, ASCAP)

“Get it out of your head,” they said
“don’t you wanna forget?”
“We know you wanna be numb, come on…
Shut it off just like everyone has done”

They’ll tell you just what you need to know
They’ll erase what you don’t
They’re looking out for your every step
Is the intent to control or protect?
Smile, it’s okay
They can make the (whole) big, bad world go away…
Shut it off shut it off shut it off

(CH)
Don’t see, don’t hear
Don’t know, don’t fear
Now don’t you feel better now, my dear?

Shouldn’t our hunger for truth be calmed?
We’ve been without it so long
So many seem not to mind it now
The image of integrity whittled down
Don’t we (all) deserve
To live in a dream, feeling safe and undisturbed…
Shut it off, shut it off, shut it off…

Don’t see, don’t hear
Don’t know, don’t fear
Now don’t you feel better now, my dear?

Get it out of your head, get it out of your head
Just close your eyes and be led, the age of reason is dead….
Get it out of your head, get it out of your head
Swallow what you’ve been fed, the age of reason is dead
The age of reason is dead, reason is dead, reason is dead…
