The Silent Acquiescence of Millions Songtext
von Sinch

Always feeling so uncomfortable
And the situation tends to be predictable
Hope slips through trained fingers
That′s how it's always been

I can′t seem to tear myself away
Been living in the past with my mistakes
But I always find a way to numb the tension
And bury thoughts alone under the skin to hide the damage done
To my defense
Senses have gone and cracked
I concede

Maybe I'm unsure of just what it takes to frustrate and dismantle apathy
Rain, wash away the temptations before I let them get the best of me

Yesterday's accomplishments replaced by tomorrow′s burdens
A never-ending cycle begins
So diseased and looking for a means to end
I′ve found nothing's solid anymore
All that′s left is try
And I confess


Maybe I'm unsure of just what it takes to frustrate and dismantle apathy
Rain, wash away the temptations before I let them get the best of me

Designed and developed inside my lungs
Now on the tip of my fucking tongue
But no one ever gets the point
That life is always about to fall to pieces
Just something beautiful that′s about to get wrecked
But no one wants to feel at all
Because we've made ourselves so numb, numb, numb
And I want to feel something
Numb, numb, numb
Don′t you want to feel something?
I'm numb, I'm numb, I′m numb, I′m numb, I want to feel something
Numb, numb, numb, I want to feel something

I won't ever live that way again ′cause somewhere along the line I lost feeling
And I lost control
But then I lost strength and completely lost hope
When are lives are consumed by society's fumes
We punch our timeclocks and watch the ignorance bloom


And how strange...
And how strange...
See I′m always turning backwards and forwards again
Retracing my steps to the bitter cold end
Rewind the tape and let me see exactly where it went wrong
Indulge in our pasts strong

And how strange that we all feel the same
And how strange that all we can do is complain
Designed and developed inside of my lungs
Now on the tip of my fucking tongue
But no one ever gets the point
That life is always about to fall to pieces
Just something beautiful that's about to get wrecked
But no one wants to feel at all
Because we′ve made ourselves so numb, numb, numb
And I want to feel something
Numb, numb, numb
Don't you want to feel something?
I'm numb, I′m numb, I′m numb, I'm numb, I want to feel something
Numb, numb, numb, I want to feel something

I′m numb, I'm numb, I′m numb, I'm numb
I′m numb, I'm numb, I'm numb, I′m numb
I′m numb, I'm numb

Maybe I′m unsure of just what it takes to frustrate and dismantle apathy
Rain, wash away the temptations before I let them get the best of me
