Numb

Numb

A Poem by Texas
"

Taken from Linkin Park. It's my favorite song, next to "My December" (remix) and "Crawling" (remix)

"

I'm tired of being what you want me to be.

Feeling so useless, lost under the surface.

Don't know what you're expecting of me,

Put under the pressure of meeting all your dreams.

(Caught in the undertow. Just caught in the undertow.)

Every breath that I breathe is another mistake to you.

(Caught in the undetow. Just caught in the undertow.)

 

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.

Become so tired, so much more aware.

I'm becoming this, all I want to do,

Is be more like me and be less like you.

 

Can't you see that you're smothering?

Holding too tightly, afraid to lose touch.

Cause everything that you made me to be,

Is falling apart right in front of you.

(Caught in the undertow. Just caught in the undertow.)

Every breath that I breathe is another mistake to you.

(Caught in the undertow. Just caught in the undertow.)

Everything you criticize kills me inside.

 

I've become so numb, I can't feel your love.

Become so distant, so much more afraid.

I'm becoming this, all I want to do

Is be who I am and nothing like you.

 

And I know I may end up failing again.

But do you what's it like to have someone estranged from you?

 

I've becone so numb, I can't feel you there.

Become so tired, so much more afraid.

I'm becoming this, all I want to do,

Is be who I am and be less like you.

 

I've become so numb, I can't feel your love.

(I'm tired of being what you want me to be.)

 

I've become so numb, I can't feel my soul.

(I'm tired of being what you want me to be.)

Author's Note

Texas
It's best if you listen to the song at the same time.
