Little Bit Here

Sometimes I feel myself
Snap out of the daze I'm in
Just like a little flash
A gift from the clouds, medicine
I shove these pills inside
So no one sees my inner skin
And I can not feel anything
I can not feel anything

I walk among machines
Living just above their means
They take the poison
Just to numb the mind's daily routine
Well I've got an off switch
That rarely ever gets a clean
And I can not feel anything
I can not feel anything

I'm a little bit here
And a little bit there
So I'm raising my white flag in the air
I want to get scared
And I want to feel pain
Just enough so I know that I'm normal again

I'm looking back at how
It came to be this way
I've made a few mistakes
But worst of all I played it safe
Now I've got a nest egg
That grows by a good ten percent
But I can not feel anything
I can not feel anything

The pressure squeezed my head
Thirteen years I was rather dead
I gave it all away
Trusting those with no final say
