Numb

Numb is a song by Phaeleh that was released in June 2014 and used in Futurism. It was notably the final song added to Futurism before its cancellation.
It's a remix of Sam Brookes' track that originally came out in 2012. Brookes later remastered it in 2014 for his "KAIROS" album, which Phaeleh's remix is based on.

==Lyrics==
My worst, I'm a terrorist of love
My best, I'm a king with compassion
From a long line of doing it wrong
I strike a melody to see me right
Oh where is my love?
for I won't be coming home tonight
In a maze of indecision
and a drought of action in the mind
From a long line of doing it wrong
I strike a melody to see me right.
Oh where is my love?
does she think of me in the dead of the night?
Oh where is my love?
for I won't be coming home tonight
Dawn sings a chorus to me,
says the sun's coming for you and me
Our dreams will all unfold, pick the thread up
and sow, sow, sow
sow, sow, sow
sow, sow, sow
