Numb Smiles

[Intro] [Verse 1] It’s funny how a kid my age Can flick a switch and just turn off. We’re taught to mute the noise inside, But cry alone where we can hide. The world says, “Speak, don’t hold your breath,” Yet we learned to hold til the end. We’re small pieces in a broken home, Taught to hurt, but hurt alone. [ Pre-Chorus] They say we’re loud, but our hearts are quiet, Drowning in a restless ocean. Numbness wears a familiar face— A smile that’s there but still so fake. [Chorus] its funny, how, a kid my age can just turn it off. And go numb. This generation is so used to being outspoken. Thrown aside and taught to cry all alone. Smiling without being there. [Verse 2] We scroll on phones to feel alive, But touchless hands can’t heal. The echoes of our parents’ wars Left us cracked on broken shores. We patch the cracks with hollow grins, A dance of loss where i cant win. [Pre-Chorus] They call us weak, but we’re just scarred, Stronger than they'll ever know. Numbness is our armor worn, A shield since the day we were born. [Chorus] its funny, how, a kid my age can just turn it off. And go numb. This generation is so used to being outspoken. Thrown aside and taught to cry all alone. Smiling without being there. [Bridge] Taught us how to stay unknown, Turn the pain into broken roads. patch the bruises til there gone, Numb, and breathing less. [Outro] Kids my age just turn it off. we all go numb and fake a smile. This generation is the future Thrown aside and broken further. Smiling.. without being there.
