Lyrics
[verse 1]
The cursor blinks
a rhythmic threat
A glowing line
I can't befriend
The coffee’s cold,
the page is white
I sit for hours
in the night
Ideas that used to
burn so bright
Evaporate before
they blend.
[Chorus]
And the ink runs dry,
the feelings numb
The inspiration
won't just come
A hollow chest,
a silent mind
The perfect words
I cannot find
Just frozen hands
and heavy stare
Reaching for art
but finding air.
[Verse 2]
The world is spinning
all around
But in my head,
there is no sound
A numbness creeping
to my core
I'm staring at
an empty door
I want to pour it
on the page
Or scream out verses
full of rage
But static vibrates
behind my eyes
And truth is buried
under lies.
[Chorus]
And the ink runs dry,
the feelings numb
The inspiration
won't just come
A hollow chest,
a silent mind
The perfect words
I cannot find
Just frozen hands
and heavy stare
Reaching for art
but finding air.
[Bridge]
They say to write
what you know best
But I’m a ghost,
an empty guest
No joy to lift,
no pain to trace
Just drifting in
this quiet space
Tick, tock,
the clock is moving fast
How long will this silence last?
[Chorus]
And the ink runs dry,
the feelings numb
The inspiration
won't just come
A hollow chest,
a silent mind
The perfect words
I cannot find
Just frozen hands
and heavy stare
Reaching for art
but finding air.
[Outro]
Just a blinking light.
A quiet room.
Waiting for the spark.
To break the gloom.
Close the journal.
Turn off the lamp.
Try again
