Sensitivity deprived
I can’t feel a thing inside
I blamed my father in my youth
Now as a father, I blame the booze
I have become uncomfortably numb
(Who’s ugly side is the ugliest)
Sensitivity deprived
All my sympathy prescribed
(Who’s hands are tied)
I used to struggle in my youth
Now I’m used to struggling for two
(To a contortionist)
I have become uncomfortably numb
The lessons (The lessons)
Are so much (Are so much)
Less obvious
The further you get from home (The further I get from home)
How will you exist (How will I exist)
Without consequence
I’ll let you know
We were gentle to begin
Then I pushed you around to break you in
Now whenever I try to be clear with you
I only end up feeling see-through
I’ve tried, but you’ve won
Comatose, like father like son
The lessons (The lessons)
Are so much (Are so much)
Less obvious
The further you get from home (The further I get from home)
How will you exist (How will I exist)
(I don’t want to know)
Blacked out, protected
I just want you home
I’ll make new friends in the ambulance
