V5.5

[INTRO]
[slow heart monitor]

(MEDICAL STAFF - cold)
Apathy is a measurable decline
in motivation,
emotional response,
social engagement,
and goal-directed behavior.

The subject does not initiate.
The subject does not pursue.
The subject shows reduced reaction
to reward,
loss,
affection,
threat,
or consequence.

This is not calm.
This is not acceptance.
This is collapse with a pulse.

Common factors include
emotional exhaustion,
chronic disappointment,
unresolved grief,
loss of control,
isolation,
burnout,
and repeated attempts
that produced no meaningful change.

Patient reports:
“I know I should care.
I just don’t feel it anymore.”

Diagnosis:
Apathy.

[VERSE 1]
(MALE - low, tired)
Phone keeps ringing
I let it die

Good news comes
And passes me by

Somebody laughs
I know the cue

But nothing in me
Knows what to do

I used to answer
I used to try

I used to look people
Right in the eyes

Now I nod
Now I fake

Now I say I’m fine
For everybody’s sake

Too many sorrys
Said too late

Too many doors
Closed in my face

Too many promises
With the same old ending

Too many times
I kept pretending

[PRE-CHORUS]
(MALE - gritty)
I didn’t wake up cold
I froze by degrees

Piece by piece
Till nothing reached me

I didn’t stop caring
All at once

I just ran out
Of places to put it

[CHORUS]
(MALE - screamed/gritty)
I used to scream
Now I just stare

You can wreck the room
I won’t care

I used to bleed
When the blade went in

Now I watch it turn
Like it’s happening to someone else

No love left
No hate left

Nothing left to hide

I felt too much
For way too long

Now nothing moves me anymore

[POST-CHORUS]
(MALE)
Nothing moves me
Nothing moves me

I know it should hurt
But it doesn’t get through to me

[VERSE 2]
(MALE - spoken/low)
 I see the message
And don’t reply

Not because I’m busy
I just don’t know why

I hear “I love you”
And I know what to say

But the words feel dead
Before I can even speak the same

the fire alarm screams
And I still make coffee

I lost the part of me
That loss used to bother

I stopped hoping
So I’d stop getting hit

Can’t lose what you want
If you don’t want anything

Too many nights
Talking myself off the ledge

Too many days
Not trusting a feeling
Or anything anyone says.

Too many chances
Given to the same knife

Too many years
Trying to act alive

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
(MALE - building)
Call it lazy
Call it weak

Call it whatever
Helps you sleep

But I know the truth
And it knows me

This is survival
After the battery 
bleeds and dies
No more jump starts
Only darkness
Like dead lights leading nowhere

[CHORUS]
(MALE - screamed/gritty, bigger)
I used to scream
Now I just stare

You can wreck the room
I won’t care

I used to bleed
When the blade went in

Now I watch it turn
Like it’s happening to anyone else

No love left
No hate left

No screams behind the door

I felt too much
For way too long

Now nothing moves me anymore

[BRIDGE]
[heart rate monitor matches beat]

(MEDICAL STAFF - clinical)
Subject remains conscious.
Subject remains functional.
Subject remains present.

Subject is not emotionally available.

Reduced affect.
Limited motivation.
Diminished interest in future outcomes.

Not healed.
Not recovered.
Only operational.

[PRE-BREAKDOWN]
(MALE - deadpan)
Threaten me.

Nothing.

Leave me.

Nothing.

Need me.

Nothing.

Say you’re sorry.

Nothing.

Tell me I changed.

I know.

Tell me I’m cold.

I know.

Tell me I’m not the same.

I know.

That was the point.

[BREAKDOWN]
[one monitor beep]

(MALE SCREAM)
I DIDN’T HEAL!
I SHUT DOWN!

I DIDN’T WIN!
I BLACKED OUT!

I FELT TOO MUCH!
I CARED TOO LONG!

I GAVE TOO MUCH!
TILL IT ALL  WENT WRONG!

(MALE GUTTURAL)
NOTHING!
MOVES!
ME!
ANYMORE!
NOTHING
IS
ALL
I
HAVE!

[FINAL CHORUS]
(MALE - emotional gritty into scream)
I used to scream
Now I just stare

You can wreck the room
I won’t care

I used to bleed
When the blade went in

Now I watch it turn
Welcoming the old familiar sting

No love left
No hate left

No screams behind the door

I felt too much
For way too long

Now nothing moves me anymore

(MALE SCREAM)
I FELT TOO MUCH
FOR WAY TOO LONG

NOW NOTHING MOVES ME ANYMORE!

[OUTRO]

(MEDICAL STAFF)
When asked what caused the decline,
patient gave no answer.

When asked if they wanted help,
patient looked toward the door.

Final note:

This is not peace.
This is not strength.

This is collapse
with a pulse.

I know I should care.

I just don’t.
