Novocaine

Do you remember the way

You used to tell me it's okay?

'Cause I can't remember those days

Those days

Overthinking the past, where'd it slip away?

It's safe to say that the new me's here to stay

Can I catch the way the sickness came?

Stole my pain, novocaine, yeah

I succumb, it keeps me numb

It's not alright, it's not alright

It's not okay

Trying to feel like I'm alive

How many times have I survived?

But I won't change

Trying to feel like I'm alive

But you know, you know

I know you couldn't change me anyway

And I can't find the words to say

I'm a helpless mess, how can I stress?

A symptom slips right through my veins

Catch the way the sickness came

Stole my pain, novocaine, yeah

I succumb, it keeps me numb

I'm not okay

Trying to feel like I'm alive

How many times have I survived?

But I won't change

Trying to feel like I'm alive

But you know, you know

I know you couldn't change me anyway

If you still want to sing, fill in the blanks we need

You can do it through me while you're gone

In time the price of peace will cost us everything

But all the love you leave carries on

So you can sing while you're away

Tell me the words you want to say

Give them to me and I'll relay

But know it just won't be the same

Trying to feel like I'm alive

How many times have I survived?

But I won't change

Trying to feel like I'm alive

But you know, you know

I know you couldn't change me anyway (do you remember the way)

But you know, you know (you used to tell me it's okay?)

I know you couldn't change me anyway ('Cause I can't remember those days)

(Those days, those days)

It's okay
