Alanis Morissette Lyrics
"Numb"

I feel smothered, and encumbered and defeated and drawn
Disappointed, over-extended, and frustrated and shaken
This over-giving, over-loving, this caretaking goes on
With no chance of intermission
I'll be checked out, I'll be gone

How to remove myself from sensation?

Here comes a 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

How to remove myself from sensation?

Here comes a 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 a 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
