[Verse 1]
I can put up with the pain, the pain
And I don't mind a life in vain, in vain
You have so much to give
And I can take it I swear
The cross that you carry
Will be mine to bear
And I can put up with the pain, the pain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cold ghost town with empty streets
Scarred broken and lost at sea
Let me be...

[Chorus]
Your novocaine
If you let me, I'll keep the wolves at bay
Novocaine
The field will fade, the paths will waste away
Novocaine

[Verse 2]
We've grown on to all the fights, the fights
Fall out of touch with wrong and right, and right
I'm willing to bend until I break
But I don't know how much more I can take
We are numb now to the pain, the pain

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cold ghost town with empty streets
Stars light up the blackened sea
Let me be...

[Chorus - Extended]
Your novocaine
If you let me, I'll keep the wolves at bay
Novocaine
The field will fade, the paths will waste away
You're not safe from the silent rage
A life you can't sustain
Novocaine
If you let me, I'll take it all away

[Bridge]
Close your eyes this once
No, it won't hurt a bit
Try as you might, but you don't
No, you don't feel it

[Chorus - Variation]
Novocaine
If you let me, I'll take it all away
Novocaine
The field will fade, the paths will waste away
Novocaine
If you let me, I'll take it all away
You're not safe from the silent rage
A life you can't sustain
