I breathe 00:09
I breathe again 00:13
My mind 00:20
Is set to stun again 00:23
And make you dull again 00:26
Not all of my scars are visible 00:30
Not all of my thoughts are pitiful 00:33
My exaltation's chemical, uh 00:35
I know that I'm stuck inside a rut 00:41
But now that I've taken twice as much 00:43
Oh, oh yeah 00:46
I just feel nothing at all 00:49
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you 00:55
I just feel nothing at all 01:00
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you, uh 01:05
I'm numb 01:16
I breathe 01:23
I breathe again 01:26
I need to find some release 01:31
Until the fever ends 01:36
I slip away again 01:39
Not all of my scars are visible 01:43
Not all of my pain is physical 01:46
This apathy is beautiful 01:49
I just feel nothing at all 01:52
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you 01:57
I just feel nothing at all 02:02
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you 02:07
I'm so numb 02:13
I'm numb 02:19
I'm numb 02:23
I just feel nothing at all 03:05
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you 03:10
I just feel nothing at all 03:15
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you 03:20
I'm so numb 03:26
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you 03:31
Now I feel nothing at all 03:36
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you 03:41

[English]

I breathe
I breathe again
My mind
Is set to stun again
And make you dull again
Not all of my scars are visible
Not all of my thoughts are pitiful
My exaltation's chemical, uh
I know that I'm stuck inside a rut
But now that I've taken twice as much
Oh, oh yeah
I just feel nothing at all
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you
I just feel nothing at all
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you, uh
I'm numb
I breathe
I breathe again
I need to find some release
Until the fever ends
I slip away again
Not all of my scars are visible
Not all of my pain is physical
This apathy is beautiful
I just feel nothing at all
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you
I just feel nothing at all
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you
I'm so numb
I'm numb
I'm numb
I just feel nothing at all
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you
I just feel nothing at all
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you
I'm so numb
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you
Now I feel nothing at all
And I'm not stopping 'til I detach from you
I'm so numb
