Blind and Numb by Emily Duff Lyrics

PIECES OF EIGHT ON THE DRESSER BY THE BED
YOU LEFT THEM IN THE MORNING
ADIOS WAS ALL YOU SAID
I LAY THERE IS SHOCK CURSING ANGELS OVERHEAD
MASSAGING MY SORE ACHING HEART AND WISHING I WAS DEAD
WITH NO TIME TO CATCH MY BREATH I CAUGHT THE MORNING TRAIN
RODE IT STRAIGHT TO NEW ORLEANS TO WALLOW IN MY PAIN
DRANK TOO MUCH, DANCED ALL NIGHT
AND WOKE UP WITH REGRETS
I CAN'T REMEMBER DETAILS NO THEY BURN LIKE CIGARETTES

PUSH IT DOWN WAY DOWN BELOW THE SURFACE
WASH IT AWAY WITH A FIFTH TO SERVE MY PURPOSE
DON'T WANNA FEEL
NO I JUST WANT TO RUN
BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THREE SHEETS
THAT KEEP ME BLIND AND NUMB

EVERY NOW AND THEN I WAKE UP FEELING COLD
SHAKE MY HEAD IN DISBELIEF WHEN DID I GET SO OLD
PLACE MY HAND UPON THE BEATING SOURCE OF ALL MY GRIEF
SWEAR UP AND DOWN TO CHANGE MY WAYS IN EXCHANGE FOR TRUE BELIEF
BUT THEN I FIND MYSELF RIGHT BACK TO RUNNING MY OLD GAME
SET IN MY WAYS AND DRESSED UP IN MY SHAME
I SHAKE THE HAND OF THAT DEVIL JUST LIKE AN OLD BEST FRIEND
TAKE A SIP AND MAKE THAT TRIP BACK DOWN TO HELL AGAIN
PUSH IT DOWN WAY DOWN BELOW THE SURFACE
WASH IT AWAY WITH A FIFTH TO SERVE MY PURPOSE
DON'T WANNA FEEL
NO I JUST WANT TO RUN
BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THREE SHEETS
THAT KEEP ME BLIND AND NUMB
