Novocaine

Night Terrors of 1927

I can put up with the pain
the pain
And I don't mind a life in vain
in vain
You have so much to give
and I can take it I swear
The cross that you carry
will be mine to bear
And I can put up with the pain
the pain
Cold ghost town
with empty streets
Scarred broken
and lost at sea
Let me be...
Your novocaine
If you let me
I'll keep the wolves at bay
Novocaine...
The field will fade
The paths will waste away
Novocaine...
We've grown on to all the fights
the fights
Fall out of touch with wrong and right
and right
I'm willing to bend
until I break
But I don't know how
much more I can take
We are numb now to the pain
the pain
Cold ghost town
with empty streets
Stars light up
the blackened sea
Let me be...
Your novocaine...
If you let me
I'll keep the wolves at bay
Novocaine...
The field will fade
the paths will waste away
You're not safe
from the silent rage
A life you can't sustain
Novocaine
If you let me
I'll take it all away
Close your eyes
this once
It won't hurt a bit
Try as you might
but you don't
you don'feel it
Novocaine
If you let me
I'll take it all away
Novocaine...
The field will fade
the paths will waste away
Novocaine
If you let me
I'll take it all away
You're not safe
from the silent rage
A life you can't sustain
