[Verse 1] I wake up feeling okay Then the day takes a turn Something twists in my chest And I don't know where to put it My thoughts start to drift Like smoke through a screen I keep looking at my hands Like they belong to someone else [Pre-Chorus] What's this ache in my ribs? Why won't it leave me alone? My skin feels too awake My head feels like stone I try to say I'm fine But the words come out thin There's a storm under my skin [Chorus] I'm numb and on fire (numb and on fire) My heart keeps burning higher (numb and on fire) I can't feel a thing But it hurts all the same I'm numb and on fire And I don't know my name [Verse 2] My skin stings in the shower Like the water knows my thoughts The mirror gives me back A face I don't trust Beauty and pain They share the same room And I stand in the doorway Letting both pass through [Pre-Chorus] What's this ache in my ribs? Why won't it leave me alone? My head hits the wall My bones ring like a phone I want to be still But I'm split down the middle And the crack keeps getting bigger [Chorus] I'm numb and on fire (numb and on fire) My heart keeps burning higher (numb and on fire) I can't feel a thing But it hurts all the same I'm numb and on fire And I don't know my name [Bridge] If this is the cost Of staying alive Then hold me in the dark Till I can survive I don't need answers I just need air I need one small sign That somebody's there [Final Chorus] I'm numb and on fire (numb and on fire) My heart keeps burning higher (numb and on fire) I can't feel a thing But it hurts all the same I'm numb and on fire And I'm learning my name
