lyrics

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
