Forever Numb
Trying Times Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I can't wait
To suffocate
From all the fears that I can't hideaway

I've lost my place
From this suffering
All my work amounts to nothing
This heart this mind
Has left my life uphill
Wasting away

I know what it feels like
Starring down the barrel of a gun
Empty on the inside
Now I'm just like everyone
I gotta find a new high
So I can stay FOREVER NUMB
I know what it feels like
I know what it feels like?

No I can't take
This constant state
I'do how to face another day

Cuz I can't fake
All of this pain,
I'll medicate so I can getaway

This heart this mind
Has left my life uphill
Wasting away

I know what it feels like
Starring down the barrel of a gun
Empty on the inside
Now I'm just like everyone
I gotta find a new high
So I can stay FOREVER NUMB
I know what it feels like
Do you know what it feels like?

Know what it feels like
Starring down the barrel of a gun
Empty on the inside
Now I'm just like everyone
I gotta find a new high
So I can stay FOREVER NUMB




I know what it feels like
Do you know what it feels like?

I love that all of you that do stuff with Andie are breaking out of just doing pop covers and going to less safe genres for you. As a musician and fellow metalhead I really appreciate it. It just goes to show that metal really does have its place in the entirety of the industry
