I wanna run from the apathy

from the questioning tongues

and eyes that just won't come off

and get a job in a industry

where a smile's not required

and complaints are always the same



cause baby you must be so fed up

with a boy that keeps telling you

how much good he's gonna do

when all that is happening 'round here

is happening in here

and nothing gets out there

except for the truth



it's up to you

cause I'm absolutely numb

it's up to you

cause I'm absolutely numb



I've been adrift on the silver surf

and I've paddled ahead of the fear

that I'd fall behind

I took drinks from the glitter smurfs

and their company dads who never

stood by in the crying



cause no one does and nobody ever will

there is only space for one

and surely he gets killed

when the engine seizes up

you might call it existential crisis

I simply call it the bravery

of emptiness



it's up to you

cause I'm absolutely numb

it's up to you

cause I'm absolutely numb
