The Shadowboxers - Novocaine Lyrics

It's a heavy kind of day
I can't see it turn around
When there is 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
But 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
Oo baby baby
Oo baby baby
Not if we keep numbing the pain
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
But a thousand more to do
It's empty
Maybe I could 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 (Don't you bail out)
Oo baby baby
Oo baby baby
Tell me are we going to change
Oo baby baby
Oo baby baby
Not if we keep numbing the pain
Novocaine
Maybe I could 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
Feel a little more
Can you help me feel a little more
Feel a little more
We gotta feel a little more

It's a heavy kind of day
I can't see it turn around
When there is 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
But 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
Oo baby baby
Oo baby baby
Not if we keep numbing the pain
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
But a thousand more to do
It's empty
Maybe I could 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 (Don't you bail out)
Oo baby baby
Oo baby baby
Tell me are we going to change
Oo baby baby
Oo baby baby
Not if we keep numbing the pain
Novocaine
Maybe I could 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
Feel a little more
Can you help me feel a little more
Feel a little more
We gotta feel a little more
