Numb Lyrics

complicate me every inch of me
you suck me in only to spit me out
pick your poison
cause you know
i'll swallow all of it willingly

i'd pry my eyes out
i'd pry them out for you

i can't stand here
without trembling
i try to speak but i'm choking at the mouth
you annihilate me
just being there
you violated all of me

and i'd pry my eyes out
i'd pry them out for you

i am in a state of numb
i cannot breathe
if you will not breathe with me
i am in a state of numb
i cannot feel
if i cannot feel you

i'd pry my eyes out
i'd pry them out for you

i am in a state of numb
i cannot feel
if i cannot feel you
i am in a state of numb
i cannot breathe
if you will not breathe with me
i am in a state of numb
i cannot be alive here
without remembering you

can you feel me?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Numb lyrics by Tapping The Vein

Particularly powerful vocals on this one, with a huge sense of empathy that just rings throughout you during the play of the song. Illustrates the different, bittersweet side of love, resounding notes of unrequited feelings, and a pathetic feel to the lyrics that involves the listener.
