Soul Surviving

Words

II want to be numb My paper thin skin is burning I want to be numb My paper thin skin is burning Can all be forgiven I’m not a bad man but I’ve done bad things Does time bring redemption? I’ve been round and round, such days I’ve lived through Oh but I’ve paid my dues I’m a soul surviving on the blues

III want to be numb My paper thin skin is burning I want to be numb My paper thin skin is burning When I count all my empties A hundred lost moments, shocked by my denial Sweet self destruction It’s kind of living — it’s kind of dying too Oh but I’ve paid my dues I’m a soul surviving on the blues Soul surviving Surviving on my blues
