Livin’ Like A Zombie

[Intro - Distorted guitar pulse, slow build] Static in my head like a worn-out TV Coffee gone cold, still staring at me [Verse 1] Alarm clock rings but I don’t react Same old shirt from the laundry rack Shoes by the door, I drag my feet Sidewalk cracks like a broken beat Neighbors talk but I don’t hear sound Mouths keep moving when I’m around Every step feels pre-programmed Like I signed up but don’t understand [Pre-Chorus - Tension rising] Pulse is steady but I feel numb Counting hours like a loaded drum [Chorus - Full band, anthemic] I’m livin’ like a zombie, stuck in repeat Half awake walking down this street No taste, no spark, no air in my lungs Just ticking off days like I’m already done I’m livin’ like a zombie, no control Just dragging this weight in my bones If there’s a way out, I can’t see I’m livin’ like a zombie, me without me [Verse 2] Office lights flicker overhead Typing words that I never said Clock on the wall won’t move at all Every second feels like a stalled call Lunch break comes, I sit alone Scrolling through lives that aren’t my own Faces smiling behind the glass I don’t remember the last time I laughed [Pre-Chorus - Slightly stronger] Heart still beats but it feels delayed Like I’m watching myself replayed [Chorus - Full band, louder] I’m livin’ like a zombie, stuck in repeat Half awake walking down this street No taste, no spark, no air in my lungs Just ticking off days like I’m already done I’m livin’ like a zombie, no control Just dragging this weight in my bones If there’s a way out, I can’t see I’m livin’ like a zombie, me without me [Bridge - Breakdown, minimal instruments] Mirror shows a stranger’s face Same routine, different place Hands move but I don’t decide Something’s missing deep inside I try to shout but nothing comes Silent scream on a muted drum [Build - Instruments rising back in] Maybe there’s a switch to flip Maybe I just lost my grip [Chorus - Final, biggest energy] I’m livin’ like a zombie, stuck in repeat Half awake walking down this street No taste, no spark, no air in my lungs Just ticking off days like I’m already done I’m livin’ like a zombie, no control Just dragging this weight in my bones If there’s a way out, I can’t see I’m livin’ like a zombie, me without me [Outro - Fading guitar, distant vocals] Same steps, same scene, same old plea Just a body moving endlessly I’m livin’ like a zombie… [Fade Out]
