“Uncomfortably Numb” is a melancholic track that features the legendary Paramore singer Hayley Williams. In this song, lead singer Mike Kinsella harmonizes with Williams and talk about how confusing and hard life becomes as you grow up.
The title is also an homage to the well-known Pink Floyd track...
[Verse 1: Mike Kinsella]
Sensitivity deprived
I can't feel a thing inside
I blamed my father in my youth
Now as a father, I blame the booze
I have become uncomfortably numb
[Verse 2: Mike Kinsella, Hayley Williams, Kinsella & Williams]
Whose ugly side is the ugliest?
Sensitivity deprived
All my sympathy prescribed
Whose hands are tied to a contortionist?
I used to struggle in my youth
Now I'm used to struggling for two
I have become uncomfortably numb
[Chorus: Mike Kinsella, Hayley Williams, Kinsella & Williams]
The lessons
The lessons
Are so much
Are so much
Less obvious
The further you get from home
The further I get from home
How will you exist
How will I exist
Without consequence?
I'll let you know
[Verse 3: Hayley Williams]
We were gentle to begin
When I pushed you around to break you in
Now whenever I try to be clear with you
I only end up feeling see-through
I've tried, but you've won
Comatose, like father like son
[Chorus: Mike Kinsella, Hayley Williams, Kinsella & Williams]
The lessons
The lessons
Are so much
Are so much
Less obvious
The further you get from home
The further I get from home
How will you exist
How will I exist?
I don't want to know
Blacked out, redacted
I just want you home
I'll make new friends in the ambulance
