Veer Union, The - Numb (Acoustic) Lyrics






I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Every step that I take is another mistake to you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

    This is amazing and one of the best covers and I've never cared for acoustic but y'all have definitely changed my mind!
    If Chester was here and I'm sure he knows but you guys would've made him proud! Thanks for this guys! Much love from S.C!!

  8. J.... P....

    Dude, I've always loved you guys. I remember back when you first played at my school (Covington middle school) back in 2007, and then again at a local hangout place for teens where your drummer came up to me and gave me one of his signed drumsticks. He noticed me singing along with some of your songs (some of which were Don't take it out on me, Over me, and Wish you Well.) I've always kept your music with me throughout the years and now I find out you did a cover of one of my favorite songs by my one and only favorite band? I couldn't ask for more, Thank you so much!

    J.... P....

    I seriously cannot stress this enough; Thank you all for carrying his memory forward. RIP Chester.

    J.... P....

    Just saw you also did a short cover of In The End in one of your more recent concerts. Please make an official cover! I need this!

  9. J.... M....

    Excellent cover! Just perfect!

    April Watson thanks so much!

  12. D.... R....

    This is by far the best cover of this song . You guys are f-ing awesome , i hope you do a show in NJ.

    D.... R....

    Dirty Raider wow thanks so much. We play there often and will be back for sure! Add us on Bandsintown, social media or sign up for our email list at theveerunion.com and you’ll always know when we’re coming!

    D.... R....

    @TheVeerUnion I just saw that , i'll be there in Teaneck, NJ May 16th . I'm only 30min from the venue .

    D.... R....

    Dirty Raider that was last year. We don’t have anything scheduled as of now for next year but we will!

    D.... R....

    @TheVeerUnion I can't believe i'm just discovering you guys now. I can defiantly hear your influences but it's not overdone . It's rare these days to hear a band that sounds original & at the same time sound familiar . I don't know if that makes any sense but today i became a fan. I wish you guys the best.

    D.... R....

    @TheVeerUnion And i will be there when you do .

  13. J.... R....

    So many emotions from hearing this song being sung by someone else...while it's obvious no one will ever sing this song like Chester, this cover is f**king beautiful it almost makes me cry. RIP Chester Bennington...your music and powerful words got me through a lot of rough days, your voice and spirit live on through your music forever.

  34. L.... J....

    Great Job Guys! See you tonight at DHP in Fayetteville, NC.

  35. V.... S....

    One of your songs was actually an ad to one of my videos. I don't know the name, but it's the one with the screen monitors and black and white. It really struck me as linkin park might be one of your inspirations, and i clicked your tribute to numb so fast. This is so beautiful. Thank you.

    I'm tired of being what you want me to be
    Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
    I don't know what you're expecting of me
    Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
    Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
    Every step that I take is another mistake to you
    Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow

    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
    Become so tired, so much more aware
    By becoming this all I want to do
    Is be more like me and be less like you

    Can't you see that you're smothering me?
    Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
    'Cause everything that you thought I would be
    Has fallen apart right in front of you
    Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
    Every step that I take is another mistake to you
    Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
    And every second I waste is more than I can take!

    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
    Become so tired, so much more aware
    By becoming this all I want to do
    Is be more like me and be less like you

    And I know I may end up failing too
    But I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you

    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
    Become so tired, so much more aware
    By becoming this all I want to do
    Is be more like me and be less like you

    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
    I'm tired of being what you want me to be
    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
    I'm tired of being what you want me to be

  53. P.... R....

    F'N AWESOME!!!

  54. P.... R....

    I really want to hear the song so I'll put up with this 1:20 min AD....

  55. J.... P....

    This song just played on my daily mix on Spotify. I recognized the melody and saw who recorded it. I had one or two songs from the veer union but that was it. I immediately looked at the date this was released sms noticed it was after Chester had passed. I started to shed a few tears. I found a whole new level of respect for these guys. Well done

  56. A.... A....

    Ficou topo demais 😲😲😲😲😲

  57. a.... ....

    Merci pour cette reprise (Thx you for France)

  58. R.... O....

    Well done.....

  59. M.... G....

    This was a damn good song! I will play this forever!

  60. D.... ....

  63. A.... G....

    I wish he never left us behind if I can only just push rewind..

  64. w.... s....

    Such a generational song....You guys nailed it

  65. A.... S....

    The void Chester left behind will never be filled, but I think Crispin will prove to be the candidate to become the new lead vocalist of Linkin Park.

  66. K.... ....

    I HATE when remakes are done but this is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING I love it

  67. e.... b....

    I heard the first few cords anyone who has heard this song knows them by heart I switched tabs to watch you guys did amazing Chester would be proud.

  68. E.... J....

    Was listening to Linkin Park on Spotify and the song "Bitter End" by this band came on and thought it sounded pretty good so I decided to look them up and this was on the of the first videos I saw, brought a little tear in my eye.. I miss Chester so much... Veer Union, you have yourselves a new fan.

  69. b.... ....

    Hell yeah. Awesome cover

    So powerful! Not only the tribute but your vocals have a haunting quality. I'm so thankful for Spotify randomly playing this song and introducing me to a new favorite band. Thank you for showing so much respect and appreciation to Chester, Mike, Rob, Brad, Dave, and Joe. Y'all are elite 💜

  98. R.... S....

    I ment Chester back in 2015. I was in Orlando FL. When I meet Chester I told him that Crawling stopped me from committing suicide. I told him that I was raped and sexually abused by family members and strangers. He looked at me then hugged me and said "I'm glad your here". I had wanted to meet the band for so long that I decided that I wanted to share my proposal to my girlfriend with them. She said yes and they hugged us! I have pictures to prove it. Thank you Chester.
