Numb

Numb to the king and I'm
 Numb to the newsreels
 I pour salt in my wounds to remember how it feels
 How to feel anything at all
 Wake up alone dressed in my day clothes
 The noise from the bar next door
 Shouldn't all those people be at home?
 God, why can't they go home?
 I think I left a young man aching
 'Cause he couldn't live like me
 Numb to all the residents
 Living in his screen
 He says I don't care, I don't care if he's right
 It might all look the same or different
 In a different light, in a different life
 And I'm numb to the noise, numb to the nonsense
 Tell me now boys
 Do you think all of this static's heaven sent
 Are there angels on the airwaves?
 I kept an idle hand on progress
 Oh 'cause you can't get ahead of yourself
 There's no feeling left to feel I ain't already felt
 I keep an idle hand on the throttle
 'Cause there's only room for one kind of love
 It's the kind that takes to leaving
 When the love leaves you numb
 It's the kind that takes to leaving
 When good ain't good enough
