Numb

I Have No Hope, I Have No Fear

I've Lost My Love, I've Lost My Dear

I've cried for My Beloved Before

I've No One Left, To Shed a Tear

I'm Broke but I Don’t Think Much Now

As Thoughts of War Confound My Mere

I'm Hurt but I Dont Say a Thing

I've Gained No Thing by Mourn and Jeer

I See Just What They Want Me To

I Hear the Things They Want Me To

I Speak the Way They Want Me To

I Feel the Pain They Want Me To

I'm living the Life, Obstruct and Blear

I'm living the Life, Full of Drear

I've Faith That I Am Still Alive

But I Don’t Know Whether I Should Cheer?

I'm Numb and All My Thoughts Are Gone

As Death And Life Are Both Unclear.
