[Intro – whispered over vinyl crackle] the city sighs / neon cries / another high / another lie --- [Verse 1] Quarter-past 3 AM, Styrofoam cup in my hand Codeine lilac, sweet talk, sinking like quicksand Bodies blur, cheap perfume, strangers know my name But when the lights come up, I’m right back where I came --- [Hook] I keep chasing numb, but numb won’t love me back Lines on the countertop, tracks on a beaten track Pour it, pop it, roll it—fade to monochrome black I keep chasing numb, but numb won’t love me back --- [Verse 2] Tally marks on motel sheets, counting hearts I never kept Silhouettes in smoke rings, trading secrets we won’t accept Instagram smiles, filtered wine, flexing pain in disguise Scrolling through my memory reels, every reel is a lie --- [Pre-Chorus] Hands up on my shoulders, feel like phantom limbs Karaoke laughter drowning heavy hymns I play pretend—king of clouds—’til the thunder begins Echoes tell me silence wins (beat drops into deeper lo-fi groove) --- [Hook – repeat] I keep chasing numb, but numb won’t love me back Spirits in a bottle dance inside a paper sack Burn it, breathe it, crush it—fade to monochrome black I keep chasing numb, but numb won’t love me back --- [Bridge – the jump & mid-fall realization] On the roof, drunk dusk collides with dawn I jumped. Weightless air—then time slowed down City lights like stars beneath a crown And halfway down I whispered, “Oh shit… I fucked up bad. Tell Mom I’m sorry for the nights I made her sad I didn’t mean to be a ghost wearing her son’s skin Didn’t know how to lose and still let love in” --- [Verse 3 – free-fall reflections] Every fight, every drink, every word I never said Flashing like Polaroids inside my head That time Dad cried and thought I didn’t see The birthdays I skipped, pretending I was free Regret’s a bitch that bites too late Gravity don’t care about fate I thought the pain would die with me But it followed all the way to the concrete --- [Final Hook – fading consciousness] I kept chasing numb, but numb don’t hold you back It kisses you like comfort, then it fades to black Falling, fading, praying—take this weight I packed I kept chasing numb, but numb don’t love you back --- [Outro – voicemail from Mom, echoing in the static] “Hi baby… I made your favorite. Just call me, okay? I miss you.” (click) (vinyl hiss fades to silence) ---

Numb dosent love you
