[Verse] In the operating room, I lie awake Praying for a reprieve, my heart to break The doctor's words, they echo in my head 'You'll be just fine,' is what he said [Chorus] Numb the pain away (numb the pain away) Till the sun rises, I'll be okay (I'll be okay) Under the mask, I find my escape In the arms of anaesthesia I'll shape [Verse 2] The IV drips, a silent lullaby My fears and doubts begin to slowly die A weightless feeling, my body's in a daze Anaesthesia, my temporary saving grace [Chorus] Numb the pain away (numb the pain away) In this moment, I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) I'll let the drugs take over me And hope that when I wake, I'll be free [Outro] So I close my eyes and let it all fade In this Motown melody, I'll find my way Numb the pain away (numb the pain away) Till the break of dawn, I'll be on my way [Ending] ( Instrumental outro )
