Safety In Numbness x Paul Dempsey

from The Indie Experiment Volume 1 by Cee

about

This was clearly written before I met my lady lol. After being a serial monogamist for 11 years, adjusting to the single life was difficult. These are some of my experiences.

lyrics

[Verse 1: Paul Dempsey]

Got glue in your feathers
What brought you to this?
A flightless bird surrounded by
Red handed kids
In their borrowed black sheep's clothes
Now everybody's in on the joke

So practice your boredom
Look a thousand times removed
Cause only a freak would sing
In a crowded waiting room
They would turn you out in the cold
Because everybody's in on the joke

[Hook: Paul Dempsey]

Are you missing a stranger
That you might have loved?
Do you feel that there's something
You don't feel enough?
There's a perfectly good poison
For the perfectly numb
If you want some

[Cee]

It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's like

[Verse 2: Paul Dempsey]

But naming the feeling
It just, it kills the charade
And if flowers should bloom
Upon your wallpaper face
It will follow you everywhere you go
Because everybody's in on the joke

Desire only burns
And envy's always green
A mind can only race
And a heart, it can only beat
There's these towering neon signs
We must uphold
To keep out the blackness
And run with the blue
Now only a fool would sing
As if he's telling the truth
Could you swallow down
That lump in your throat?
Because everybody's in on the joke

[Hook: Paul Dempsey]

Are you missing a stranger
That you might have loved?
Do you feel that there's something
You don't feel enough?
There's a perfectly good poison....

Are you missing a stranger
That you might have loved?
Do you feel that there's something
You don't feel enough?
There's a perfectly good poison
For the perfectly numb
If you want some

[Verse: Cee]

If you want some...
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's like

Everyone's in on it, so I get a bit,
Defensive and shit, gotta bite my lip,
Hold the feelings in, keep a straight face for them,
Though it's resulting in numbing experiences,
But it's for the best, men ain't supposed to feel,
Emotions stay repressed, yet it's this close to real,
So I travel this path of my passion, kid,
I ain't no thespian but I can act a bit,
And it seems every woman wants relationships,
I brush 'em off, tell 'em that I need some space and dip,
But I find that I fall for 'em real quick,
So I found the off switch on my emotions and I flicked the bitch,
Two women I loved said they wished they never met me,
And that I'm selfish, man that left me feeling hella empty,
Eleven years around broads and no me time,
Has got me overdue for the single life, though I seemed fine,
Every new chick diggin' my indifference,
Figuring they can change my mind, I'm stubborn as shit,
And the problem is I never even get the butterflies no more,
This acting cold shit sucks, it's something I ignore,
Maybe one day soon I'll move past it,
And handle things not like a mean-hearted bastard,
Until then, I need time to overcome it,
At this point man, I like to find my safety in numbness,
Until then, I need time to overcome it,
At this point y'all, I like to find my safety in numbness
