Numb To NYC was written in November of 2019 while reflecting on the ups and downs of living in the vibrant metropolis that is New York City. The songwriting became catharsis as I relived moments spent at the highest highs and the lowest lows. The song took on a new meaning after I had to leave New Y...
When you’re standing in a big crowd
It’s easy for you to feel so small
Like no one would notice
If you weren’t here at all
You could be screaming
And no one would even hear your call
(You feel so small)
When you step on the concrete
Take it round the block
Staying up all night
Giving what you’ve got
It’s the best thing, till its not
I’ve been trying to keep busy
But every day’s the same
Feels like my whole life just hit me
Passing people on the train
They don’t have a thing to give me
It’s just a losing game
And there’s not a point in winning
If it means I go insane
Maybe I don’t have it in me
Think I’m numb to New York City
I’m numb to New York City
Like a sailboat in the ocean
You can’t seem to catch your wind
And nothing excites you
Looking back on what you did
You aren’t eating
Opening up about what you hid
(Can’t catch your wind)
When you’re walking the concrete
Round and round the blocks
Staying up all night
Body's taking shots
It's electric, till its not
I’ve been trying to keep busy
But every day’s the same
Feels like my whole life just hit me
Passing people on the train
Who don’t have a thing to give me
It’s just a losing game
And there’s not a point in winning
If it means I go insane
Maybe I don’t have it in me
Think I’m numb to New York City
I’m numb to New York City
I’m numb to New York City
I’m numb to New York City
I’ve been trying to keep busy
Cause every day’s the same
Feels like my whole life just hit me
Passing people on the train
They don’t have a thing to give me
It’s just a losing game
And there’s not a point in winning
If it means I go insane
Maybe I don’t have it in me
Think I’m numb to New York City
