Nummen - Numb

Verden gråte
i redselsskrik

men me e numne

å danse vekk våre tåre i tom latter
endelause netter av lunkne senger
lunkne hender
kald kjærleik
å alt aent rus me kan få fatt i

Eg kan ikje gråta meir
orke ikje lesa meir

mine hendar e alt eg har
mine klemmar e alt eg har
mine or e alt eg har

å gi

De e'kje nok..

-----

The world cries
in shrieks of horror and fear

but we are numb

and dance away our tears in empty laughter
endless nights of tepid beds
tepid hands
cold love
and all other intoxication we can get our hands on

I cannot cry anymore
cannot bear reading more of it

my hands are all I have
my hugs all I have
my words are all I have

to give

It's not enough..
