Raised in the city in the shadow of blueprints
Pays to be pretty and my brain'll consume it
What a marvel of modern times
She's quite a spectacle
But I'm drawn to the most unexplainable beauty
You see what I'm saying is
You're my only one
You're my only one
You're my only one
You're my only wonder
In a world of numb
In a world of numb
In a world of numb
In a world of numbers
You see I once heard a poet say we write things to figure them out
I tried to apply this to my writing but I found I'd
Still plan the words I thought before I jot 'em down
I'm trying to find the clarity but it gets blocked out
Still I'm so happy writing
Remember writing?
When one shaped the words we said before typing
When pain occurred I didn't type
I realised it through my forearm through my hands a pen that just supplied ink, yeah
The only therapist I'll ever need
A catalyst for relaxing worries that I breed
But the further that we edge towards these newer times
Pleas of a simpler age reign supreme as I breathe
As I breathe via my heartbeat
Via the social promises that I can't keep
Smoking's cathartic plus I drink to keep my past schemes
Focus on what I believe will craft me
'Cause every day I try perfecting my own sculpture
Not to be displayed just be accepted by a culture
Never want to be the one digested by the vultures
Just trying to be a guy who people wanna gain respect from
Triggering the notion that my mind's my greatest weapon
What are you scared of?
What a tainted question
What aren't you scared of?
That oversteps a mention
Yeah, I said that oversteps a mention
'Cause I haven't got a fear
I haven't got a phobia
I'd like tom make it clear what frightens me's not holiness
I'm not scared of the devil
I'm not scared of death or fire
I often find that warmth and light are aspects I admire
I'm not scared of delinquency or overstepping marks
A paradox supplied when I'm feeling bright when in the dark
I'm not scared of anything apart from a wedding ring
It seems self sabotage is something I'm developing
But you're my only one
You're my only one
You're my only one
You're my only wonder
Raised in the city in the shadow of blue
You've got a beauty that I can't refuse
Let me travel into your mind
You're my only one
You're my only one
You're my only wonder
In a world of numb
In a world of numb
In a world of numbers
You see I'm
I like to think that you're still nice but you remember me
I can't even try and be the guy I used to be
I've changed a lot I like to think that I've changed beautifully
You still think I lack a lot, dutifully
But all I say is nowadays I find I'm due to leave
And I find I'm more comfortable in certain places
I find that I'm uncomfortable taking part in races
That I haven't really agreed to be part of
I wasn't first to starve but hope that I'm the last off
'Cause they always say the nice guys, they never finish places
Ya, but I'm [?] traces of any past
Evils that I've had
Ya, I'm thinking that I am
Bad
