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
