Lackluster

[Intro] [Verse 1] I’m staring at a neon sign that’s lost its glow Watching traffic lights change in a rhythmic show But the red don’t mean stop and the green don't mean go It’s just static on a screen that I used to know The air is heavy but it tastes like nothing at all I’m a ghost in a hallway, leaning on a phantom wall If I screamed, would the frequency even break the air? Or am I just a hollow shape sitting in this chair? [Pre-Chorus] The saturation's leaking out of every street I’m walking on a pavement that don't feel the heat Give me a bruise, give me a cut, give me a scar Just let me feel something, no matter how hard [Chorus] Everything is lackluster, gray and thin A flickering light beneath a paper-mâché skin I’m reaching for the fire but the flint is gone A thousand shades of hollow from the dusk to the dawn Yeah, it’s lackluster, a desaturated dream Ripping at the silence just to hear a scream But it’s quiet... yeah, it’s so quiet. [Verse 2] My heartbeat’s a metronome, steady and cold A carbon copy of a story that’s already been told I drink the ocean but I’m still bone dry I look for God but I only see a vacant sky Everything I touch turns to a dull shade of lead I’m alive in the ribs, but I’m numb in the head. [Pre-Chorus] The saturation's leaking out of every street I’m walking on a pavement that don't feel the heat Give me a bruise, give me a cut, give me a scar Just let me feel something, no matter how hard [Chorus] Everything is lackluster, gray and thin A flickering light beneath a paper-mâché skin I’m reaching for the fire but the flint is gone A thousand shades of hollow from the dusk to the dawn Yeah, it’s lackluster, a desaturated dream Ripping at the silence just to hear a scream [Bridge Violin Solo] [Outro] Lackluster... It’s all just lackluster. Waiting for a spark that’s never gonna come. I’m just... numb. [End]
