Numb to love,
Numb to hate.
Numb to the world,
And any emotion it rates.
I’m numb to these words,
I’m numb to this rhyme.
Numb to anything,
Anything apart from time.
Time to know that love isn’t there,
And hate can’t fill the gap.
A self-made crevice,
A self-made trap.
I’m numb to this melody,
I’m numb to the song.
I’m numb to all but the thought:
Why has it taken me so long?
I’m numb to everything,
Yet I can still cry.
I know that this could change,
But I’m too scared to try.
Scared to try and be taken off the drip,
Of emotion-killing drugs that keep me sane.
Scared to let go of this protection,
The one that keeps me from pain.
I’m my own worst enemy,
I keep myself numb.
Hoping that one day I’ll be strong enough,
And to emotion, I’ll succumb.

"Numb to anything,
Anything apart from time."
the repetition of anythin jarred with me a bit, perhaps "numb to anything / apart from the time". but im not sure. it is after all, your work, i never feel right making my own amendments. x

Nunca conheci quem tivesse levado porrada.
Todos os meus conhecidos têm sido campeões em tudo.

All my acquaintances have been champs in everything
