I´m so alive
I´m so enlightened
I can barely survive
A night in my mind
I´ve got a plan

I´m gonna find out just how boring I am
And have a good time
´Cause ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It´s been fine
I´ve been cool
With my new golden rule
Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it´s been
Is there a God?
Why is he waiting?
Don´t you think of it odd
When he knows my address?
And look at the stars
Don´t it remind you
Just how feeble we are?

Well it used to, I guess
´Cause ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It´s been fine
I´ve been cool
With my new golden rule
Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it´s been
I´m a new man
I wear a new cologne and
You wouldn´t know me
If your eyes were closed
I know what you´ll say
"This won´t last longer than
The rest of the day"
But you´re wrong this time, you´re wrong

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
I´m over the analyzing
Tonight
Stop trying to figure it out
Deep will only bring you down
You know, I used to be the back porch poet with a book of rhymes
Always open knowing all the time I´m probably
Never gonna find the perfect rhyme
For heavier things
