Novocaine
Unlikely Candidates Lyrics

Novocaine
I use distractions and numbing agents to avoid feeling pain.

I keep it coming so I feel no pain
I continue with my destructive habits to avoid confronting my emotional pain.

I tell my girl that I'ma change my ways
I promise my girlfriend that I will improve myself.

She knows I'm never gonna change (change)
But deep down, she knows I am incapable of changing.

Same old shit
I'm stuck in a repetitive cycle of negative behavior.

Runnin' my mouth until she busts my lip
I push her to the point of physical altercation through my thoughtless words.

So many problems, you can take your pick
I have numerous issues that contribute to my unchanging nature.

I know I'm never gonna change (change)
I am aware that I will always remain the same.

I am what I am
I accept that I cannot fundamentally change who I am.

I know what I know
I am certain of the limited knowledge I possess.

I'll let you down if you let me too close
If you become too emotionally attached to me, I will inevitably disappoint you.

You'll catch me runnin' away then you'll know
Eventually, you will witness me avoiding and escaping from any meaningful connection.

Guess you could blame it on my left-side brain
Perhaps my logical and analytical brain hemisphere is responsible for my inability to change.

I should know better but you know
I am aware that I should make better choices, but it's difficult for me to do so.

I ain't ever gonna change
I will never undergo a fundamental transformation.

Got no shame
I lack any guilt or remorse for my actions.

Spent all my money soon as I got paid
I impulsively squandered all my earnings as soon as I received them.

Wonder why the party's over soon as I arrive
I question why things always go wrong when I am involved.

Must've done something in a former life
I believe I must have committed some wrongdoing in a past existence.

And I don't really wanna change
Honestly, I have no genuine desire to transform myself.

Am what I am
I exist as I am, without any significant alteration.

Know what I know
My knowledge is limited and fixed.

I'll let you down if you let me too close
If you allow yourself to become emotionally intimate with me, I will inevitably disappoint you.

You'll catch me runnin' away then you'll know
You will eventually witness me escaping and avoiding any deep connection.

I can't change
I am incapable of undergoing any significant transformation.

Well, I got no shame
I feel no remorse or embarrassment for my actions.

Spent all my money soon as I got paid
I immediately wasted all my earnings upon receiving them.

I should know better but you know
I am aware that I should make better choices, but it remains challenging for me.

I ain't ever gonna change
I will never undergo any fundamental transformation.

Change
Despite the repetitiveness of my behaviors, there is no true growth or improvement.

Am what I am
My existence remains unaltered.

Know what I know
I possess a limited understanding of the world.

I'll let you down if you let me too close
If you allow yourself to become emotionally close to me, I will inevitably disappoint you.

Am what I am
I exist as I am, without any significant alteration.

Know what I know
My knowledge is limited and unchanging.

You'll catch me runnin' away then you'll know
You will eventually witness me fleeing from any meaningful connection.

Am what I am
My essence remains unchanged.

Know what I know
I possess a fixed understanding of things.

I'll let you down if you let me too close
If you allow yourself to become emotionally attached to me, I will inevitably disappoint you.

Am what I am
I exist as I am, without any significant alteration.

Know what I know
My knowledge is limited and unchanging.

You'll catch me runnin' away then you'll know
You will eventually witness me escaping and avoiding any deep connection.

I can't change
I am incapable of undergoing any significant transformation.

Guess you could blame it on my left-side brain
Perhaps the logical hemisphere of my brain is responsible for my inability to change.

I should know better but you know
I am aware that I should make better choices, but it remains difficult for me.

I know, I know
I am fully aware of my shortcomings and limitations.

I ain't ever gonna change (yeah)
I will never experience any true transformation.

Well, I got no shame
I feel no remorse or embarrassment for my actions.

Spent all my money soon as I got paid
I immediately wasted all my earnings upon receiving them.

I should know better but you know
I am aware that I should make better choices, but it remains difficult for me.

I know, I know
I am fully aware of my shortcomings and limitations.

I ain't ever gonna change
I will never undergo any significant transformation.

Change
Despite the repetitiveness of my behaviors, there is no true growth or improvement.
