Numb - Averi

I’ve been warring with myself

I’ve wrestled these ideas and all these things I’ve felt

And I don’t feel any better

The war goes on but whatever

We all think too much

I guess I sat here just hoping that all these things you were throwing

Would reassure my uncertainties

I start to choose a direction

When you shake your head and I question the steps I start to take

And I’m sure the view is breathtaking

If I could only step to that ledge

They take a picture of you at the top

Did you smile when the flash went off?

If I stop to catch my breath could you please slow up?

Because it hurts that much when my lungs are numb

If I hint at giving in, remind me I’m strong

And I need to be where I want to belong

It takes time to feel sure about this

Security is something I can’t quite grab a hold of yet

I start to lose my direction when you choke on your words

And I question the steps I start to take

Words are not necessary.

So instead of that could you maybe

Just let me go my way?

They take a picture of you at the top

Did you smile when the flash went off?

If I stop to catch my breath could you please slow up?

Because it hurts that much when my lungs are numb

If I hint at giving in, remind me I’m strong

And I need to be where I want to belong

I’m naked for the world

And it’s chilling to be outside

Where I can’t see anything in front of me clearly

It’s a right of passage

Like a child in it’s adolescence

It’s a passing storm and I can only wait it out

So I wait it out, with our without you

If I stop to catch my breath could you please slow up?

Because it hurts that much when my lungs are numb

If I hint at giving in, remind me I’m strong

And I need to be where I want to belong

I’m naked for the world

And it’s chilling to be outside

Where I can’t see anything in front of me clearly
