Numb

I never see you happy and I wondered why is that  
I had question after question but I know you hate chit chat  
Holding in smiles for so long, your pride has multiplied and grown strong    
So you choose to be still and choose not to feel,  
Reinforcing your shield,  
Putting up your guard to wait for something real  
Took a chance and all your hope was killed,
The sign said stop and yet you chose to yield  
 
Why display a smile that’s tarnished, destroyed by love and all its carnage    
Sense-less and depressed, while you keep your emotions in repress    
Desperate for relief, as you long for release and for the pain to decrease  
Petrified and paralyzed, from the agony that was realized  
So why should you be criticized for the way you’ve been desensitized  
I now know why I see a statue when I look at you, why you try not to let anything get to you  
As if you were punished for showing such bold emotion  
Such physical devotion, and now you’ve silenced yourself from all that commotion  
And so you remain still and choose not to feel, happiness can be fatal when you don’t keep it concealed
