Lament for the Numb

I found no peace
Lived like a shy fearful child
I couldn't feel a thing
Unless it was suffered gladly
Somehow for atonement
An ever nameless dread
And it's not like I lived it
It's like I read about it
In someone else's book
And I know this is foolish
But it etches in - to the fibre of your heart

Hold it right there I'm gonna show you something pure
And I could always have stayed there
Never to have played my hand
The Lament for the Numb
The battle memory remains here
Only to be fought and won
The Lament for the Numb
And now the journey repays me
Lose all the baggage for one
The Lament for the Numb
The Lament for the Numb

And now she breathes on me
And I'm so full of fire
To burn a trail ahead
If this is just a moment
It's alright I cupped my hands
Forever round your heart
If this is what it feels like
Forever round your heart
Hold it right there I'm gonna show you something pure
And you could always remain here
If only to walk by my side - The Lament for the Numb
And you will always remain here
Never to suffer my pride
The Lament for the Numb
And there is so much to gain here
Lose all the demons and lies
The Lament for the Numb
And with a love running deeper I won't tag along for the ride
The Lament for the Numb
The Lament for the Numb
It's not like I lived it
The Lament for the Numb
It's just like I lived it
