[Intro - Warped piano] Could turn it down. Couldn't turn it off. [Verse 1 - Tense rap] Kept trying to mute what I couldn't explain, Spent a good night borrowing tomorrow's pain. Laugh got louder, head got distant, Looked like I was there, wasn't living in it. Didn't want the memory, didn't want the quiet, Didn't want to admit what was driving the habit. Called it a party, called it a phase, Called it anything but running away. People saw noise. I felt less. For a little while, till it came back next. No substance could give that kid a home, Still woke up with the things I hadn't known. [Build - Snare rise] One more night. Same old cost. Pull the bass out— Listen to what got lost. [Chorus - Shouted drop] NEVER NUMB ENOUGH! IT STILL CAME BACK! COULDN'T LOSE THE PAST IN A NIGHT LIKE THAT! I WANT MY DAYS! I WANT MY HEAD! I DON'T WANT TO MISS THE LIFE I GOT LEFT! [Verse 2 - Fast, increasingly clear] No clean speech saying I had it sorted, Some days saw the truth, some days ignored it. Spent so long making hurt into background, Had to learn to stay when the volume came down. Eat something. Get some rest. Say out loud when it starts again. Small real moves, no dramatic scene, More honest mornings, less "what happened to me?" I'm not proud of how much life got blurred, But I won't keep hiding it behind these words. There's still a bloke under all that static, Still got time to get better at living. [Bridge - Piano, dry voice] Didn't need a bigger night. Needed a morning I didn't have to escape. [Final Chorus - Full drop] NEVER NUMB ENOUGH! IT STILL CAME BACK! COULDN'T LOSE THE PAST IN A NIGHT LIKE THAT! I WANT MY DAYS! I WANT MY HEAD! I DON'T WANT TO MISS THE LIFE I GOT LEFT!
