Comfortably Numb (Acoustic Live) - Staind

Hello, Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home? Come on now I hear you're feeling down Well, I can ease your pain And get you on your feet again Relax I'll need some information first Just the basic facts Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain, you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain, you would not understand This is not how I am I have become comfortably numb I have become comfortably numb O.K. Just a little pin prick There'll be no more aaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good That'll keep you going through the show Come on, it's time to go There is no pain you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown The dream is gone I have become comfortably numb There is no pain you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown The dream is gone I have become comfortably numb

The hating and the waiting, hesitating I just want to be done with you Faking for the taking but I'm waking Up to the fact that you're lying and denying Justifying all the actions you take It's pathetic and poetic It's just sick It's just sick Is "compromise" something you don't understand? You force your hand but my eyes are wide open Caught in the web of your self serving plan Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving All the damage is done And you've broken any notion of trust Because you're lying and denying Justifying all the actions you take It's pathetic and poetic It's just sick It's just sick Is "compromise" something you don't understand? You force your hand but my eyes are wide open Caught in the web of your self serving plan Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving All the damage is done All the damage done All the damage done Is "compromise" something you don't understand? You force your hand but my eyes are wide open Caught in the web of your self serving plan Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Force my hand when my eyes are wide open You're lying and denying it's just sick You're lying and denying it's just sick It's just sick

Do you feel like you're falling? You've taken this step In front of you Is further from the truth And you fall apart In front of me again Again Denial isn't the way to forgiveness You always swore that I was wrong Not again No taste for the crow you feed me Not again It's not a matter of if I care Not again What an intricate web you're weaving Again and again So you try not to follow While the clock fails to sleep So here we are Back where it began And toe to toe I stand In front of you again Again Denial isn't the way to forgiveness You always swore that I was wrong Not again No taste for the crow you feed me Not again It's not a matter of if I care Not again What an intricate web you're weaving Again and again Not again No taste for the crow you feed me Not again It's not a matter of if I care Not again What an intricate web you're weaving Again and again, again Again

I think I used to pray I thought it would save me from my hell But what they never say Nobody's God ever saves you from yourself And all my faults Are all my fault And I just want To feel it all Feel it all! Feel it all! How can I face what's under the surface, when nothing is working? How can I break away from the burden? This cycle of hurting I'm still waiting to change I'm still waiting to wake up as someone else At the end of the day I'm too stubborn to get any help And all my faults Are all my fault And I just want To feel it all How can I face what's under the surface, when nothing is working? How can I break away from the burden? This cycle of hurting How can I face what's under the surface, when nothing is working? How can I break away from the burden? This cycle of hurting Away from the burden This cycle of hurting Cycle of hurting!

Not really good at just paying attention I'm not very good at remembering things that you say I'm not very good at pursuing redemption Not very good at concealing the hand that I play It's the way I am You'll never change The way I am Or rearrange The way I am Just let me be The way I am It's the way I am I'm not really sure of the coming attractions I'm not really sure of illusions we read on the wall I'm not really sure of the preaching we practice I'm not really sure if we'll notice it before we fall It's the way I am You'll never change The way I am Or rearrange The way I am Just let me be The way I am It's the way I am Not very good at just paying attention Not very good at remembering things I'm not very good at pursuing redemption Not very good at concealing the hand that I play When I'm trying so hard just to beat you I'm not really good at controlling my fate I'm not really good at controlling my anger I'm not really good at subduing my hate I'm not really good I'm not really good I'm not really good It's the way I am You'll never change The way I am Or rearrange The way I am Just let me be The way I am It's the way I am

Can't you see that I'm sick of this? Chances are you're oblivious To how I feel Sitting on your throne And I'm sure that I'm not alone Not alone Not alone Tell me please Who the fuck did you want me to be? Was it something that I couldn't see? Never knew this would be so political, and please I'm still wearing this miserable skin And it's starting to tear from within But it's obvious that doesn't bother you, so please I didn't think that you'd sell me out Now I know what you're all about You might feel in control of things But you're not holding all the strings All the strings All the strings Tell me please Who the fuck did you want me to be? Was it something that I couldn't see? Never knew this would be so political, and please I'm still wearing this miserable skin And it's starting to tear from within But it's obvious that doesn't matter to you I've swallowed all your answers I've swallowed all my pride You've used up all your chances Can't keep this all inside Tell me please Who the fuck did you want me to be? Was it something that I couldn't see? Never knew this would be so political, and please I'm still wearing this miserable skin And it's starting to tear from within But it's obvious that doesn't bother you, so please Don't keep telling me that it's okay I don't buy all the shit that you say And quite honestly I'm fucking sick of it, so please If I cut off this nose from my face Then I wouldn't feel so out of place But it still wouldn't be quite enough for you, so please
