Numb Neverland
You there, with the teary eyes
Did you go through the same hell as me?
A never ending labyrinth
Filled with all disease?
The hell where night is endless
And worlds are broken
Dreams are crumbled
Lies are spoken
But I found a way
I found a door
That’s right, I’ve flown away
I’m depressed no more
A doctor disguised
As Peter Pan
Took me away
Offered me his hand
So open the door
And take the pills
See the world through different eyes
Stop crying all those tears
A never-ending neverland
With skies a deep true blue
A prescription-induced wonderland
Too good to be true
But soon the clouds drifted in
And the sky grew dark
Then I quickly realized
This was no redemption ark
I was never saved
I was just playing dumb
Ignoring my true feelings
When what I really was, was numb
Was this the neverland
I was promised?
The freedom that I dreamed of
Is it really rotten?
Yes I no longer hurt
But I feel nothing at all
And yet someone once told me
You practice flying while you fall
And oh, how I wish I could fly away
Fly away into the air
And yet I’ve strayed so far from the road
I’m unsure if it was even there
Tell me, what would you choose?
To hurt or be numb?
To feel all too much or nothing at all?
Because I don’t know what I’ll become
Too late to second-guess now
So here I sit in neverland
A lie, an illusion
One no one understands
If I could do it again, would I be different?
If I had known there’d be a catch?
Because now my mind is burning
And I’m the one who lit the match
