Novocaine

Novocaine

Mae
(album: Singularity)

Why does every street here look the same?
Yet there´s so many here, see the faces, they´re glad they came
A city sucking all the life in me
So I´ve been using you to get what I need

It´s not so typical, so hypocritical for me to act this way
But novocaine sets in and I pretend the real is fake
See the master strike up his band to play
The music screams in me but I don´t hear a single thing

Oh, novocaine
Just get it out of me, it´s getting hard to breathe in here
I´m going insane
So in the state I´m in, I´d give in to almost anything

I´m not the monster that you claim I am
If I could shed some light in here, then I could make you understand
It´s not this atmosphere that makes you become
What it is you hate the most, ´cause being dead is feeling numb

Oh, novocaine
Just get it out of me, it´s getting hard to breathe in here
I´m going insane
So in the state I´m in, I´d give in to almost anything
Novocaine
This is the way I feel, it´s just another vicious wheel

Spinning Spinning Spinning in anxiety
The weight of it can crush you
and steal your dignity
There´s light here at this tunnel´s end
All I can do is recommend
don´t give it away
Do you feel something?
Well let the light in

I´ll keep on searching here ´cause I think I could
Just get me off the streets of hollow Hollywood
All systems in place (Don´t worry about a thing you´ll find)
Sensation, separation, isolation, this foundation,
worn by countless obligations. lies and desperation
