Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Doctor’s light in my eyes But my mind’s out back on the porch Mama’s humming some old tune While the rain taps time on the boards They say “Tell us how you feel” I just stare straight through the wall Every word tastes like cotton Mouth won’t move at all [Chorus] I’m comfortably numb inside Like a TV left on in an empty room Got a heart that remembers how to cry But the tears won’t bloom Yeah I’m stuck in this quiet tide Waves roll in but they don’t touch my shoes Comfortably numb inside Got nothing left to lose [Verse 2] Friends talk smoke and sunshine I just laugh at all the wrong parts They pass the bottle Pass the time I keep missing my own heart Used to burn like a matchhead Quick spark Black sky Then night Now I’m just this slow blue ember Glowing But I don’t feel the light [Chorus] I’m comfortably numb inside Like a TV left on in an empty room Got a heart that remembers how to cry But the tears won’t bloom Yeah I’m stuck in this quiet tide Waves roll in but they don’t touch my shoes Comfortably numb inside Got nothing left to lose [Bridge] Maybe one day something small A name A song A kitchen chair Will crack this glass around my chest Let the weather in Let me care (oh yeah) [Chorus] Till then I’m numb inside Like a TV left on in an empty room Got a heart that remembers how to cry But the tears won’t bloom Yeah I’m stuck in this quiet tide Waves roll in but they don’t touch my shoes Comfortably numb inside I’m just humming these old blues

Slow-burning electric blues, male vocals. Clean, reverb-kissed guitar playing bent, vocal-like leads; warm tube amp growl and lazy hi-hats with a fat, unhurried snare. Verses stay close and conversational, bass walking under the melody; chorus widens into big sustained chords and call-and-response backing vocals. Final chorus stretches with a soaring guitar fill answering each vocal line, ending on a long, fading note., blues
