We Won’t Numb the Pain / Fire
[Part I: We Won't Numb The Pain]
[Verse 1]
We're taking paths of least resistance
And never feel our soul's persistence
Turn on the radio
We don't wanna know
Keep on running in cruise control
We were never meant to live like this
So much has happened and too easy to miss, yeah
Cheap thrills, social media pills
Use sex like a drug and we can't keep still
[Pre-Chorus]
Distracted, distracted
Keep ourselves so distracted
We want more
[Chorus]
We won't numb the pain
Hands reaching to the sky
Hearts ready for the fire
Eyes open till we die
We won't numb the pain
Slow down inside your life
Stand still against the tide
Keep fighting for the silence
We won't numb the pain
[Verse 2]
I talk influence and being strategic
But all I'm feeling is narcissistic
Use recognition, but the adrenaline
Won't stop long enough to hear the disconnection
We were never meant to live like this
Stand up for anything and be dismissed
Oh, we don't want it real, we keep it trivial
Objectified sex keeps us playing the field
[Chorus]
We won't numb the pain
Hands reaching to the sky
Hearts ready for the fire
Eyes open till we die
We won't numb the pain
Slow down inside your life
Stand still against the tide
Keep fighting for the silence
We won't numb the pain
[Bridge]
We want the cure, not a medication
We're gonna deal with it now, yeah
We want the cure, not a medication
We're gonna deal with it now
[Chorus]
And we won't numb the pain
Hands reaching to the sky
Hearts ready for the fire
Eyes open till we die
We won't numb the pain
Slow down inside your life
Stand still against the tide
Keep fighting for the silence
We won't numb the pain
[Outro]
Gonna feel my
Gonna feel my
Gonna feel my heart now
[Part II: Fire]
[Verse]
Let me get a taste of Your sweetness
Give me one glimpse of Your lovely light
Lord, be my joy and treasure, my delight
Let me have a sense of Your presence
May I trust Your mercy all my life
I just wanna be a fire burning in the night
[Refrain]
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
[Chorus]
Fire in my heart
Fire in my soul
May the fire of Your love
Burn away control
Satisfy my heart
'Cause I don't wanna steal
Or give in to my lust just to feel
[Outro]
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
