anhedonia

[verse1] The record’s spinning but I can’t hear the song The lights are flashing but the shadows feel too long I’m sitting at the table where the feast is spread But everything tastes like water and lead. I remember laughter, I remember the spark Now I’m just a pilot flying through the dark With no destination and no fuel in the tank My emotional balance is a perfect blank. [chorus] I’m feeling nothing, and nothing is loud I’m a ghost in the city, a face in the cloud The spectrum is broken, it’s all black and white I’m waiting for morning in the middle of light. No highs and no lows, just a flatline soul I’m staring at the pieces but I can’t see the whole Yeah, the world is screaming in a beautiful tone But I’m just a statue, I’m made out of stone. [verse2] I see my friends smiling, I mimic the shape Looking for a doorway, looking for escape But the wires are cut and the signal is weak There’s a desert inside me, cold and bleak. The sunset is gold but it’s just a degree It doesn't spark a fire, doesn't talk to me I’m a spectator watching my own life play Counting the minutes of a hollow day. [bridge] Strike a match, let it burn to the bone I want to feel a sting, I’m tired of the zone Give me the salt, give me the bitter wine Anything to prove that this life is mine. [chorus] I’m feeling nothing, and nothing is loud I’m a ghost in the city, a face in the cloud The spectrum is broken, it’s all black and white I’m waiting for morning in the middle of light. No highs and no lows, just a flatline soul I’m staring at the pieces but I can’t see the whole Yeah, the world is screaming in a beautiful tone But I’m just a statue, I’m made out of stone.
