pulling the cold on top waiting for light and sound to stop deeper and deeper today further and further i fade away let me ignore the cause special effects for common laws i m ready for numb i m ready for numb what have i become if the demons take me i just want to be damned for good when the spirit makes me i will die like a good man should i was only 18 when i finally let go picking at the dead like a raven on the road i will never understand if i never get told living in the dark like a raven on the road digging with pale white hands keeping the calm and tasting sand doing a favor today telling a friend to stay away i can afford the cost i don t care for what i ve lost i m ready for numb i m ready for numb when do i become if the angels take me they re going to need extra time when the spirit mocks me i ll know i only took what s mine i was only 25 when i finally went home looking for a ride like a murder on the road i will only understand when you leave me alone dying in the dark like a murder on the road like a murder on the road  you re never too young to remember you re old looking for a deal like the devil on the road i will only understand when i finally get told waiting for the dark like the devil on the road like the devil on the road like the devil on the road like the devil on the road
