[Verse 1]
Another beautiful day in sunny CA
And I feel… nothing 
The sun is shining, the birds are singing
I'm still waiting to feel...
nothing.
I close my window and go back to bed

[Verse 2]
I know I’d feel better if I got some fresh air
Deep breaths while walking in the sun
Stretch and shower and wear real clothes
It doesn't matter what I know
I won't do any of that

[Chorus]
They call it anhedonia 
I call it the Nothing 
A big, black emptiness that swallows you whole and robs you of everything 
No energy, drive, passion, desire, interest, pride or joy
Just a void.

Just a void.

[Verse 3]
I’ll get up and go to work 
Which means I stumble 30 feet
in my PJs to my home office, emotional support coffee in hand
Feeling nothing

[Verse 4]
My only interaction with others is via text or email or the occasional Zoom meeting
which is intentional 
I find socializing awkward and exhausting

Just a void.

[Bridge]
For years I thought the worst of myself
That I was just being lazy
Turns out I’m depressed and I'm not alone
The Nothing is wrong with lots of us

Just a void.

[End]
