Numbered Lyrics
Believing in something

Reliving each moment
Or forgetting everything in time
Our days may be numbered
Our nights remain slumbered

A presence conjured from thin air
You think I'm a number
Still willing to rhumba
To lay it bare as if I care
Some people have questions
Some people have answers
Some people have nothing
They're holding everything in time
The spell may be broken
The demons have woken
The days are still pressing
And regressing everything in time
You think I'm a dreamer
I've never really been there
A presence conjured from thin air
You think I'm a number
Still willing to rumba
To lay it bare as if I care
