Lyrics Numb - Alanis Morissette

This is for Cedric LeMoyne on bass
Thank you so much everyone
You've been really, really kind to us tonight
Thanks

I feel smothered and encumbered
And defeated and drawn
Disappointed, overextended
And frustrated and shaken

This over-giving, over-loving
This caretaking goes on
With no chance of intermission
I'll be checked out, I'll be gone

How to remove myself from sensation?

Here comes a feeling
I run from the feeling and reach for the drug
Can't sit with this feeling
I'd rather be flying and comfortably numb

I feel anxious
I feel nervous, I am bored
I'm overwhelmed
Rather be out of my gourd

How to remove myself from sensation?

Here comes a feeling
I run from the feeling and reach for the drug
Can't sit with this feeling
I'd rather be flying and comfortably numb

I am lonely
I feel hungry and unloved
I am angry
I feel livid, need a hug

Here comes a feeling
I run from the feeling and reach for the drug
Can't sit with this feeling
I'd rather be flying and comfortably numb
