Can I overcome thse things I'm feeling, a coldness deep inside

The violence, the loss of friends, it's got me desensitized

Why in the world, does the world keep trying me

I'll try, don't wanna hear all the hurt, I don't wanna see

Why can't you see



Sometimes I feel numb, I can't feel no pain

Can I overcome, things I can't explain



And I still want to try and trust again

But I just can't believe

The things I read, I just wanna close my eyes

The TV news gets me confused, so now I'm paralysed

And I can't close my eyes, pretending not to see what I've become

Can I overcome
