I wanna run from the apathy From the questioning tongues And eyes that just won't come off And get a job in an industry Where a smile's not required And complaints are always the same 'Cause baby you must be so fed up With a boy that keeps telling you How much good he's gonna do When all that is happening 'round here Is happening in here And nothing gets out there Except for the truth It's up to you 'Cause I'm absolutely numb It's up to you 'Cause I'm absolutely numb I've been adrift on the silver surf And I've paddled ahead of the fear That I'd fall behind I took drinks from the glitter smurfs And their company dads Who never stood by in the crying 'Cause no one does and nobody ever will There is only space for one And surely he gets killed When the engine seizes up You might call it existential crisis I simply call it the bravery of emptiness It's up to you 'Cause I'm absolutely numb It's up to you 'Cause I'm absolutely numb, oh (Kashmir) (Kashmir) (Kashmir) (Kashmir) (Kashmir) (Kashmir)
