(Verse 1) Sunrise creepin', a dirty yellow stain On the windowpane, feelin' like yesterday's rain Another night gone, just a blur in the haze Lost track of the minutes, the hours, the days Got this ache in my chest, ain't nothin' I can mend So I pour another glass, try to make the feelin' end Yeah, I'm hidin' from the shadows, the ones that claw and bite Drownin' in this whiskey, tryin' to kill the light. (Chorus) Oh, I don't wanna feel nothin', no, nothin' at all Just let the darkness consume me, standin' tall Against the ghosts that whisper, the tears I can't shed Rather be numb and empty, than haunted in my head Yeah, I'm tryna feel nothin', just a hollow, empty space Wipe this damn expression right off of my face. (Verse 2) Hear the sirens wailin', somewhere down the street Another lost soul strugglin', can't find their own two feet Just like me, darlin', ain't that a funny twist? Pretendin' I'm alright, with a clenched and bitter fist This heavy, achin' burden, it's a weight I gotta bear So I slip another pill, to vanish in the air The world keeps spinnin' onward, with its joy and all its strife But I'm just tryin' to escape this goddamn life. (Chorus) Oh, I don't wanna feel nothin', no, nothin' at all Just let the darkness consume me, standin' tall Against the ghosts that whisper, the tears I can't shed Rather be numb and empty, than haunted in my head Yeah, I'm tryna feel nothin', just a hollow, empty space Wipe this damn expression right off of my face. (Bridge) They say it's a weakness, this need to hide away But they don't know the demons that visit me each day They don't feel the cold that seeps into your soul When love turns to ashes, and leaves you feelin' whole But a broken, shattered whole, you understand? So I'm numb, baby, numb, with a bottle in my hand. (Guitar Solo - raw, bluesy, full of grit and anguish, mimicking Janis's vocalizations with bends and feedback) (Verse 3) The room starts to spin now, the edges gettin' blurred Every worry and every regret, just a forgotten word My own reflection starin', a stranger in the glass Beggin' for some peace, for this misery to pass Maybe tomorrow's different, a brand new dawn will break But tonight, it's just this poison, for goodness gracious sake. (Chorus) 'Cause I don't wanna feel nothin', no, nothin' at all Just let the darkness consume me, standin' tall Against the ghosts that whisper, the tears I can't shed Rather be numb and empty, than haunted in my head Yeah, I'm tryna feel nothin', just a hollow, empty space Wipe this damn expression right off of my face. (Outro) Nothin', baby... just nothin' at all... (Whispers) Let it all fall... (Sings, fading) Nothin'... oh, nothin'... (Sound of a bottle hitting the floor, then silence)
