Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I have become comfortably numb

Echo the hook

  • There is no pain, you are receding
  • A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
  • You are only coming through in waves
  • Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying
therehearyou're
