Novocaine

look at the punishment
sit in her eyes
just like flies reaching out with a gripping hand
velvet vice
i am so numb so cold web
built for man's downfall
blink her eyes
it takes years it takes no time at all

sometimes i'm cold
sometimes injections take hold
sometimes i'm cold
numbing time starts to fold in on me
time starts to cave in on me
novocaine

what if i sold my american dream
what if i shut my ears when people scream
die from the outside
or that's how it seems
funny how people beg for everything
funny how it seems
funny it doesn't seem funny to me

sometimes i'm cold
sometimes injections take hold
sometimes i'm cold
numbing time starts to fall down on me
time starts to cave in on me

i feel the cold never look never see
never touch never feel novocaine as i bleed
novocaine

please numb our bodies like tablets of salt
please think for us so we can't be at fault
take all are freedom we'll know how to act
open our noses so minds can extract
and sometimes i'm cold
sometimes injections take hold
sometimes i'm cold
numbing time starts to cave in on me
time starts to fall down on me
i feel the cold never look never see
never touch never feel novocaine as i bleed
i feel the cold never look never see
but somehow it doesn't seem funny to me
