So Fast, So Numb

[Verse 1]

You're moving through rough waters, motel boy

And swimming in your sleep

How could I be so blind, mis-sighted

Not to see there's something wounded deep?

Well, anyone could scratch your surface now

It's all amphetamine

You're blasting yourself into the present

To blur some past indignity, say that

[Pre-Chorus]

You say that you hate it

You want to recreate it

[Chorus]

I've been around, I've been your lover

I let it go at Kill Devil Hill

You're coming onto something so fast, so numb

That you can't even feel

[Verse 2]

You're drinking raw adrenal, baby

And do-si-do, saddo

You're eating cartilage, shark eyes, shark heart, all present tense

And boy, your blood is running cold

Listen, this is now, this is here, this is me

This is what I wanted you to see

That was then, was that, that is gone, is passed

You cast yourself, cast passed by, thrown down fast

[Pre-Chorus]

You say, you say that you hate it

You want to recreate it

[Chorus]

I've played this round, I've played your lover

I played it out to the hilt, woah

You're coming onto something so fast, so numb

That you can't even feel

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

You love it, you hate it

You want to recreate it

Now, this is here, this is me

This is what I wanted you to see

That was then, was that, that is gone

Is what I wanted you to feel

[Pre-Chorus]

You love it, you hate it

I'm spitting out the bitter pill, woah

[Chorus]

I've been around, I've been your lover

I let it go at Kill Devil Hill

You're coming onto something so fast, so numb

That you can't even feel, woah

I've played this round, I've played your lover

I played it out to the hilt, woah

You're coming onto something so fast, so numb

That you can't even feel

You've played around, you played me lover

I let it go at Kill Devil Hill, woah

You're moving so hard, so fast, so numb

That you can't even feel
