Numb Lyrics

I've been in a daze
It seems like days that I've been waiting
For this dream to pass
It goes so fast
It seems nothing lasts
I think I've lost something

Stuck here with these people
Wide awake, the crush of bodies in one space
I feel your heart breath on my tongue
I wonder where you've gone

And the ever turning spinning wheel of people, places
Lies I feel
The restless beat of the sleepless night to come
I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb

Hopeless these three years like smoking years
I go from place to place
Just endlessly and half asleep
Like I'm falling alone at some endless breach

I don't know where I am
I don't know what I've done
I just go over it and over it again and again and again
I can't sleep at night
I cant breathe
But If I drink tonight I'll get you off my mind

And the ever present pit I feel
I'm turning on some spinning wheel
Of faces and the scenes I see
And none of it seems real to me
Just the bleary haze of the morning still to come

I just want to be numb x5

This song was inspired by the band's extensive touring schedule in support of their debut release. Guitarist Steven Chen explained to Spinner: "The idea for 'Numb' grew out of the deep, omnipresent bass at all these festivals we played back-to-back in 2009. Walking around, we were instantly bombarded by nondescript thumping music and masses of people. There's a tendency to withdraw completely into your own head at these moments, and the song is about that feeling of detachment that washes over you even as you find yourself surrounded."

This song must have a lot to do with Mikel going on tour and running away from his problems, but them following him. At this point I just want to see a picture of the girl that all these songs are about.
