My heart's a machine
And it fuels itself on misery
My mind unclean
Corroded by the memories

Just before the truth comes to light
You pull the wool over my eyes
Pull the wool over

Every time I look away
From all the agony and pain
I've spent my life pretending
But it's never ending
I won't feel a thing
Novocaine

Try and I try
But it never gets better
Wish I could learn
But I ain't very clever
Open my lungs
They're collapsed from the pressure
Tell me now when will it stop

Every time I look away
From all the agony and pain
I've spent my life pretending
But it's never ending
I won't feel a thing
Novocaine
Novocaine

Back down
It never gets better

Try and I try but it never gets better
Wish I could learn but I ain't very clever

Every time I look away
From all the agony and pain
I've spent my life pretending
But it's never ending
I won't feel a thing
Novocaine
Novocaine
