numb - Alanis Morissette

Disappointed, over-extended and frustrated and shaken

This over-giving, over-loving, this care-taking goes on

With no chance of intermition

I’ll be checked out, I’ll be gone

Have to remove myself from sensation

Here comes the feeling

I run from the feeling and reach for the drug

Can’t sit with this feeling

I’d rather be flying and comfortably numb

I feel anxious, I am nervous, I am bored

I’m overwhelmed, rather be out of my gourd

Have to remove myself from sensation

Here comes the feeling

I run from the feeling and reach for the drug

Can’t sit with this feeling

I’d rather be flying and comfortably numb

I am lonely, I feel hungry and unloved

I feel angry.

I am livid.

Need a hug

Here comes the feeling

I run from the feeling and reach for the drug

Can’t sit with this feeling

I’d rather be flying and comfortably numb
