Holding the code on top
Waiting for light and sound to stop
Deeper and deeper, today

Further and further, I fade away
Let me ignore the cost
Special effects for common loss


Chorus:


I'm ready for numb.
I'm ready for numb.


What have I become

If the demons take me.

I just wanna be dead for good!
When the spirit meets me.
I will die like a good man should!


I was only 18 when I finally let go.
Picking at the dead like a remnant on the road

I will never understand if I never get told.
Living in the dark like a remnant on the road


Digging with pale, white hands
Keeping the calm and tasting sand
Doing a favor, today

Telling a friend to stay away
I can't afford the cost
I don't care for what I've lost


Chorus:


I'm ready for numb.
I'm ready for numb.


What have I become

And if the angels take me.

They're gonna need extra time
When the spirit mocks me.
I'll know I'll only take what's mine


I was only twenty-five when I finally went home
Looking for a ride like a murder on the road


I will only understand when you leave me alone
Dying in the dark like a murder on the road

Like a murder on the road.

You're never too young to remember you're old

Looking for a deal like the devil on the road

I will only understand when I finally get told

Waiting for the dark like the devil on the road

Like the devil on the road

Like the devil on the road
Like the devil on the road
