Zombie

⸻

Verse 1

I took the pill they handed me

In a paper cup at 3 a.m.

Watched the edges fade to gray

As the color left my limbs

I used to feel the seasons turn

Like a needle in my veins

Now I’m just a photograph

In a broken window frame

⸻

Chorus

I’m a zombie in the morning

I’m a ghost by afternoon

I don’t dream about the warnings

I just sleep inside this room

They say the quiet means it’s working

But it feels a lot like doom

I’m a zombie in the morning

And I’m gone before noon

⸻

Verse 2

There’s a calendar above my bed

With the days all crossed in black

I remember how it felt to run

Now there’s no way back

I used to taste the bitter rain

I used to feel the sparks

Now I drift along the power lines

Like a bird that won’t depart

⸻

Chorus

I’m a zombie in the morning

I’m a ghost by afternoon

I don’t dream about the warnings

I just sleep inside this room

They say the quiet means it’s working

But it feels a lot like doom

I’m a zombie in the morning

And I’m gone before noon

⸻

Bridge

Maybe someday when the dial shifts

And the fog begins to thin

I’ll find the voice I left behind

And call it home again

⸻

Final Chorus

I’m a zombie in the morning

I’m a ghost by afternoon

I don’t dream about the warnings

I just sleep inside this room

They say the silence is a blessing

But it sounds a lot like doom

I’m a zombie in the morning

And I’m gone before noon
