I wanna run from the apathy
from the questioning tounges
and eyes that just won't come off
and get a job in an industry
where a smile's not required
and the complaints are always the same

cause baby you must be so fed up
with the boy that keeps telling you
how much good he's gonna do
When all that is happening 'round here
is happening in here
and nothing gets out there
except for the truth

it's up to you
cause I'm absolutely numb
it's up to you
cause I'm absolutely numb

I've been adrift on the silver surf
and I've paddled ahead of the fear
that I'd fall behind
I took drinks from the glitter smurfs
and their company dads who never
stood by in the crying

cause noone does and nobody ever will
there's only space for one
and surely he gets killed
when the enige seizes up
you might call it existencial crisis
or simply call it the bravery
of emptyness

it's up to you
'cause I'm absolutely numb
it's up to you
'cause I'm absolutely numb
