lyrics

I can sit in the sun and feel nothing
The red of my skin never stings
They prick me with pins to see if I would notice
But I don't feel anything
But now as I sit with the candle
I see that the flame burns my skin
I freeze immediately
What's happening to me?
I must be feeling again...

And why should I try to kill what's inside?
The joy and the pain are what makes me alive
No, I won't bother chasing the dragon
Or running away from what hurts

Now tweezing my brow is much harder
The plucking and pinching, it bites
When I run away and fall
My God, I feel it all
And I run straight in to the knife

And why should I try to kill what's inside?
The joy and the pain are what makes me alive
No, I won't bother chasing the dragon
Or running away from what hurts

I admit that it's nice to feel romance when somebody holds me
Even if that means that some nights I'm gonna feel lonely
I've had gooey chocolate chip, sinful deliciousness
I've seen 1,001 golden sunsets
I never felt a thing and I know this is the start
Even if all I feel now is this broken heart

Why should I try to kill what's inside?
The joy and the pain
I'm alive! I'm alive!
Oh, I won't bother chasing the dragon
Or running away from myself
