Novocaine

It's a heavy kind of day, I can't see it turn around
When there's silver to be made to keep the water brown
And there are villages of homeless and millions of homes
All empty

And all the proof is in my pocket, the whole world is live streamed
And the more I come to know it, the more powerless I seem
I thought that knowledge came with power, but the power isn't free
It's all empty

I don't want to share another line
Saying I will be sending my heart out
It might help me sleep at night
But it's a lie, I'm doing nothing to help out

Oo baby baby
Oo baby baby
Tell me, are we going to change? Yeah
Oo baby baby
Oo baby baby
Not if we keep numbing the pain
Novocaine
Novocaine

So will we be the generation who made a lot of noise
But we never found our message, just a mess of every voice?
Or will we wait till it's our turn and hope our hope ain't burned
To empty?

Well, everybody's right and everybody's wrong
Stop claiming to be righteous, you're human after all
And there's a thousand ways to say it, and a thousand more to do
It's all empty

Maybe I should throw away my phone
Buy a home off the grid and just tune out
But running off alone
Of the world barely in it you bailed out
(So don't you bail out)

Oo baby baby
Oo baby baby
Tell me, are we going to change? Yeah
Oo baby baby
Oo baby baby
Not if we keep numbing the pain

Maybe I should throw away my phone
Buy a home off the grid and just tune out
But running off alone
Of the world barely in it, you bailed out
Novocaine

Feel a little more
Can you help me feel a little more?
Feel a little more
Can you help me feel a little more?

Feel a little more
We gotta feel a little more
Feel a little more
We gotta feel a little more

Feel a little more
We gotta feel a little more
Feel a little more
We gotta feel a little more
