Novocaine

Do you remember the way
You used to tell me it's okay?
'Cause I can't remember those days
Those days

Overthinking the past, where'd it slip away?
It's safe to say that the new me's here to stay
Can I catch the way the sickness came?
Stole my pain, novocaine, yeah
I succumb, it keeps me numb
It's not alright, it's not alright
It's not okay

Trying to feel like I'm alive
How many times have I survived
But I won't change?
Trying to feel like I'm alive
But you know, yeah, I know
I know you couldn't change me anyway

And I can't find the words to say
I'm a helpless mess, how can I stress?
A symptom slips right through my veins
Catch the way the sickness came
Stole my pain, novocaine, yeah
I succumb, it keeps me numb
I'm not okay

Trying to feel like I'm alive
How many times have I survived
But I won't change?
Trying to feel like I'm alive
But you know, yeah, I know
I know you couldn't change me anyway

If you still want to sing
Fill in the blanks we need
You can do it through me while you're gone
In time the price of peace will cost us everything
But all the love you leave carries on
So, you can sing while you're away
Tell me the words you want to say
Give them to me and I'll relay
But know it just won't be the same

Trying to feel like I'm alive
How many times have I survived
But I won't change?
Trying to feel like I'm alive
But you know, yeah, I know
I know you couldn't change me anyway (do you remember the way)
But you know, yeah, I know (you used to tell me it's okay?)
I know you couldn't change me anyway (I can't remember those days)
(Those days)

It's okay
