Novocaine

Locking this out, faking this smile
'Cause nobody goes dark like me
Keep it all in, hold it together
'Cause nobody feels just quite this tired
So tired of these wires that bind me
Come find me alone

You know it's all gone if you're honest
We're taking all we can till it's over
'Cause I won't let go
I'm dreaming of the time when you found me
Just staring at the sun
As your smile was going through me like novocaine

Holding on tight, praying for sunlight
I know you won't be here for long
There's no one here now
It's empty and silent, we tried it all before
But we lost it, we lost it
It cost me my first glimpse of life lived in here

You know it's all gone if you're honest
We're taking all we can till it's over
'Cause I won't let go
I'm dreaming of the time when you found me
Just staring at the sun
As your smile was going through me like novocaine

You know it's all gone if you're honest
We're taking all we can till it's over
'Cause I won't let go
I'm dreaming of the time when you found me
Just staring at the sun
As your smile was going through me like fire
Through me like hope
You're going through me like novocaine
