The vast majority of Sylvian lyrics can be found at davidsylvian.net and slowfire. I'll generally only transcribe newly released songs that aren't up elsewhere (or ones that contain interesting background samples or vocals) and live versions of unreleased songs.

All That Numbs You

Track #10 - The Opiates // By: Thomas Feiner & Anywhen

Such a wonderful life when it’s weighing you down
Are you in control?
The suburban reign always stays the same
Like a hollow smile cracking up your face

Take your battered soul, wear it as a crown
All that numbs you
Run a thousand miles, ’til you hit the ground
All that numbs you now
And the days roll into one and the same on you
The world revolving around your spinning head

Make the fences high
Make the blinds go down on the world outside
Maybe the day will come
When you wake up not feeling anything
No more tears and no more pain

Take your bleeding heart, wear it on your sleeve
All that numbs you
Stare into the sun, the blind relief
All that numbs you now
As the years roll into one, only numbers change
The world revolving around your spinning head
The world revolving around your spinning head
The world revolving around your spinning head

Take your battered soul, wear it as a crown
All that numbs you
Stare into the sun, the blind relief
Of all that numbs you now
As the years roll into one, only numbers change
The world revolving around your spinning head
