Uncomfortably Numb

Sensitivity deprived

I can't feel a thing inside

I blamed my father in my youth

Now, as a father, I blame the booze

I have become uncomfortably numb

Sensitivity deprived (Whose ugly side is the ugliest?)

All my sympathy prescribed

I used to struggle in my youth

(Whose hands are tied to a contortionist?)

Now I'm used to struggling for two

I have become uncomfortably numb

The lessons are so much less obvious the further I get from home

How will I exist without consequence?

I'll let you know...

We were gentle to begin

Then I pushed you around to break you in

Now whenever I try to be clear with you

I only end up feeling see-through

I've tried but you've won

Comatose, like father like son

The lessons are so much less obvious the further I get from home

How will I exist? Blacked out? Redacted?

I'll make new friends in the ambulance
