Crying I'm
Falling I'm
Bleeding now
Bleeding I'm
Crying I'm
Bleeding now
Bleeding now I'm
Crying out I'm
Falling down and I'm
Feeling nothing like
Laughing now I'm
Stopping now I'm
Reaching out and I'm
Feeling nothing
Yeah, you have created a rift within me
Now there have been several complications
That have left me feeling nothing
I might say, you were wrong to take it from me
Left me feeling nothing
Crawling now I'm
Beaten down I'm
Tortured now and I'm
Feeling nothing like
Hunting now I'm
Stalking now I'm
Reaching out and I'm
And killing nothing
You've created a rift within me
Now there have been several complications
That have left me feeling nothing
I might say, you were wrong to take it from me
Left me feeling nothing
That are ripping and tearing and feeding and growing inside of me
Ripping and tearing and feeding and growing inside of me
I want this
More than you know
I need this
Give it back to me
You've created a rift within me
Now there have been several complications
That are ripping, tearing and feeding and growing inside of me
You've created a rift within me
Now there have been several complications
That are ripping, tearing
Feeding,
Growing
Ripping
Tearing
Ripping and tearing and feeding and growing inside of me
I want this
More than you know
I need this
Give it back to me
The lyrics to The Disturbed's song "Numb" describe the internal struggle and pain caused by someone who has caused a rift within the singer. The repetition of "bleeding, crying, falling, feeling nothing" emphasizes the deep emotional turmoil the singer is experiencing. The lyrics suggest that the person who created this rift took something important from the singer, leaving them feeling empty and tortured.
The last verse is particularly haunting, with the imagery of something "ripping and tearing and feeding and growing inside" of the singer. This suggests that the damage caused by the person is not only emotional but also physical. The repetition of "ripping, tearing, feeding, and growing" builds the tension and emphasizes the destructive force created by this person's actions. The chorus "I want this more than you know, I need this, give it back to me" suggest that the singer is desperate to reclaim what was taken from them, indicating that the damage done is irreparable.

@Frejborg
Yeah, I've always liked this song a lot. Now I'm getting a little older I realise how much it says about me that I enjoyed, and felt peace with songs and lyrics like this.
Mother... what did you do to me?
Been struggling in all relationships all my life, but it really comes out with the woman I've been seeing throughout this scamdemic.
Sometimes when I upset her, and when she reacts appropriately, and puts distance between us, I just lose it, it's like a demon starts coming out of me. Screaming, yelling at the top of.of my lungs, growling, crawling around. So much anger...
Heal us God.
And the anger comes out in passive aggressiveness, and negativity, avoidance, moodiness, overreactions, defensiveness, argumentativeness, brooding, lashing out subtly, and flip-flopping on my thoughts, feelings, and choices.
I just want to heal and move forward.

@MrBeefyBeef
Believe is also fucking amazing but after that shit got pretty mediocre. Also, ten thousand fists was ok but that was about it.
