Numb 
By Holly McNarland
On the 1997 cd "Stuff"

Capo 3
Intro: *            x 2              

Verse 1:
                                            
Chase destruction of your own emotions
                                                            
And your need for love, makes you easy prey
                                                      
Saftey of a rubber glove seems much too simple
                                                   
Climbing up and down, waiting for the day

Chorus:
                                riff
You can't see if I'm not listening
                                riff
You can't hear with my eyes open
                                riff
I can't hate with my eyes open
          no chord        
I feel better when I'm numb

Verse 2:
                                               
Chase destruction of your own existance
                                            
Keep it clean, clean enough to stab
                                                        
Lick your own wounds, anxious for the next one
                                           
Cry for more pain, heal what you have

Chorus

Begin palm mutting
Verse 3: 
                                                    
Just another hit for the one you love
                                                 (begin jamming)
If you cared at all, you'd put me down
                                                    
Wake up dead man, can't you see I'm starving
                                                      
Wake up dead man, can't you see I'm starving

Chorus:
                                riff
You can't see if I'm not listening
                                riff
You can't hear with my eyes open
                                riff
I can't hate with my eyes open
              
I feel better 
        
I feel better
                            end.
I feel better when I'm numb
