Lyrics American Football – Uncomfortably Numb

Sensitivity deprived
I can’t feel a thing inside
I blamed my father in my youth
Now as a father, I blame the booze

(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

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

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

The lessons
