[Verse]
Don't wanna hear the news
What's going on
What's coming through
I don't wanna know
Don't wanna know
Just wanna hide away
Make my my escape
Just want the world
To leave me alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like I feel too much
I've seen too much
For a little while
I want to forget
[Chorus]
I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be
[Post-Chorus]
Taken away from all the madness
Need to escape
Escape from the pain
I'm out on the edge
About to lose my mind
For a little while
For a little while
I wanna be numb
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
[Chorus]
I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be
[Post-Chorus]
Taken away from all the madness
Need to escape
Escape from the pain
I'm on the edge
About to lose my mind
For a little while
For a little while
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be numb
[Outro]
All of the madness
I wanna be numb
Don't wanna hear the news
What's going on
What's coming through
I don't wanna know
Don't wanna know
Just wanna hide away
Make my my escape
Just want the world
To leave me alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like I feel too much
I've seen too much
For a little while
I want to forget
[Chorus]
I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be
[Post-Chorus]
Taken away from all the madness
Need to escape
Escape from the pain
I'm out on the edge
About to lose my mind
For a little while
For a little while
I wanna be numb
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
[Chorus]
I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be
[Post-Chorus]
Taken away from all the madness
Need to escape
Escape from the pain
I'm on the edge
About to lose my mind
For a little while
For a little while
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be numb
[Outro]
All of the madness
I wanna be numb
