So Long as We Keep Our Bodies Numb We’re Safe Lyrics by Midtown

Forget What You Know

2004

[Verse 1]
It's what you want
It's your amphetamine
Another night you're settling
For comfort in your bed
The more you fill
The more you're empty
You're never what you should be
Here is why you're sad:
[Pre-Chorus]
You're miserable
When he is close
So take another drink
Another drink will numb those senses
And make the most of flesh and bones
If it helps you to fall asleep
[Chorus]
I'm watching you change
It doesn't have to be this way
It gets harder everyday
So you keep numb to feel safe
[Verse 2]
Fuck what you know
Can't you see it's shallow?
Every time you swallow
Do you get a taste of what you've become?
Regrets, they wake you in the morning
You shower but you're not clean
Please just listen
[Pre-Chorus]
You're miserable
When he is close
So take another drink
Another drink will numb those senses
And make the most of flesh and bones
If it helps you to fall asleep
[Chorus]
I'm watching you change
It doesn't have to be this way
It gets harder everyday
So you keep numb to feel safe
[Verse 3]
I still remember the days
When you didn't feel the need to escape
And every demon you never face
Is the reason you're not safe
[Bridge]
Please understand that you've had every chance
You've had all the time
All the time in the world
Please understand that you've had every chance
You've had all the time
All the time in the world
[Outro (repeated many times)]
You don't listen
You don't listen (listen)
(All the time in the world
All the time, all the time)
