I Wish I Felt Nothing

written by Jakob Dylan

when you're alone, it's better because nobody knows you
when no one's your friend, its better because nobody leaves you
so you turn your back on a world that you could never have

because your heart's been cracked and everyone else is gone
But I hear voices and I see colors
I wish I felt nothing
then it might be easy for me like it is for you

Now all of these people coming from deep holes; pulling you down
it's just no use when all the abuse follows you around
but the morning you've gone, leaving me here all alone
said, "it's no mystery, I know nobody here needs me"

But I hear voices, and I see colors
I wish I felt nothing
then it might be easy for me, like it is for you

and I know you beleive that you and me don't belong here
and the worst we could do is keep trying to pretend we care

but I hear voices and I see colors
I wish I felt nothing
then it might be easy for you; like it is for me
