Novacaine

Life hurts

Life drains what little joy I have with every breath I take

Wish I could plunge a needle in my heart, filled with Novocain

My friends and family have dwindled, it's like I'm a disease

And my lover chose another, so now there's no one to love me

My empty smiles quickly fade, there is no point from now on

There's no one around to lie to, so my mask is suddenly gone

I dream of plunging a needle in my heart, filled with Novocain

Then maybe I could find a way to finally numb the pain.
