Uncomfortably Numb

Sensitivity deprived
I can't feel a thing inside
I blamed my father in my youth
Now as a father, I blame the booze
I have become uncomfortably numb

Sensitivity deprived (Who's ugly side is the ugliest)
All my sympathy prescribed
I used to struggle in my youth (Who's hands are tied to a contorsionist)
Now I'm used to struggling for two
I have become uncomfortably numb

The lessons (The lessons)
Are so much (Are so much)
Less obvious
The further you get from home (The further I get from home)
How will you exist (How will I exist)
Without consequence
I'll let you know

We were gentle to begin
Then I pushed you around to break you in
Now whenever I try to be clear with you
I only end up feeling see-through
I've tried, but you've won
Comatose, like father like son

The lessons (The lessons)
Are so much (Are so much)
Less obvious
The further you get from home (The further I get from home)
How will you exist (How will I exist)
I don't want to know
Blacked out, protected
I just want you home
I'll make new friends in the ambulance
