lyrics

I have such envy when lives work out like they're on TV
I'm going gentle into yet another night
You can ask how a day went, as pointless as it may seem
It's quite apparent that I'm in need of repair

When did I become so numb?
Stagnant time, you have won
I'm so careless, so selfish, so heartless

Dancing in darkness shouldn't leave strings attached
That's why here only I can let myself down
The only way I know I'm getting home is when I go alone

When did I become so numb?
Stagnant time, you have won
I'm so careless, so selfish, so heartless

I want to believe that this is a bout with bad sleep
If it can't be a dream, then oh, what a cruel reality

When did I become so numb?
Stagnant time, you have won
Dancing in darkness shouldn't leave strings attached
Only I can let myself down
I'm so careless, so selfish, so heartless
