Stay Numb and Carry On
Madison Beer Lyrics

Stay numb and carry on
In order to avoid negative emotions and move forward, I will remain unresponsive and continue on with my life.

Too young to hate someone
I am too young to harbor hate towards someone, especially since my life is just beginning.

Truth is it was never love
What we had was never love, but instead a mere illusion of affection.

Your fault if you thought it was
If you convinced yourself that what we had was real, that is your error, not mine.

Tongue taste like liquid poison
I have a bitterness in my mouth that feels toxic and harmful.

Medicine for my inner voices
I am using this bitterness as a way to silence the voices in my head that consume me with negative thoughts.

Can't drown these static noises
Even though I am attempting to quiet my inner struggles, the noise inside my head still persists.

I tried (I tried)
Even after giving effort to ease my internal unrest, I still feel overwhelmed and at a loss.

Panic mode
I am experiencing a state of fear and confusion due to my current circumstances.

It's Helter-Skelter
My life feels like it is in a state of chaos and disorder.

Red alert, cherry Alka-Seltzer
I am trying to find a quick solution to my problems, like taking an Alka-Seltzer to address physical discomfort.

Shake it up and find some shelter to hide (to hide)
I need to take action and distance myself from my troubles in order to find safety and regain stability.

My heart can't help but wonder where the feeling is
I am struggling to feel anything in my heart due to the trauma and challenges that I have faced.

I was gin and you were toxic
Our relationship was like a mix of gin and poison, unpleasant and ultimately harmful.

We had nothing good in common
Looking back on our relationship, I realize that we didn't share anything that was truly positive or beneficial.

Wish we just stayed platonic
It would have been better if we had kept our relationship friendly and devoid of romance.

But my mind gets dark and ominous
There are times when my thoughts become foreboding and pessimistic.

Can't change it, that's just how it is
I can't alter the nature of my thoughts and feelings, I can only learn to manage them.

At least I'm being honest, no lie (no lie)
I am transparent about my struggles and am telling the truth about how I feel.

I don't feel like anyone
I feel socially disconnected and am struggling to form meaningful relationships with others.

The world is mad and they say I'm the crazy one
The world seems to be in a state of chaos, and despite my efforts to stay composed, I am often viewed as being irrational or insane.

I've become emotionless
As a result of my struggles, I have become incapable of feeling emotions on a regular basis.
