about

Artist's block is an incredibly frustrating experience, so it seems fitting that it inspired one of my favorite tracks of late.

lyrics

I wrote some music today
Nothing in the words
A hollow tune to play
Once upon a time they
Swelled with life from a
Heart that's become clay

I wrote a sad song today
Something in the sound
Lacked feelings that would stay
I wish that I could relay
A little of how I feel
But the feeling's gone away

Hey~
Why's the music gone so flat
Oooh, oooooh
Hey~
Ohhh~

I tried to jot down a letter
Thinkin' I'd feel better
Once I got my thoughts up on the wall
Isn't it funny how
The one song I get running now
Just whines about how I can't write at all

Hey~
Why's the music gone so flat
Oooh, oooooh
Hey~
Ohhh~

Now there's something in the sound
Like rain upon my soul
And it burns me like some acid
Leaves a hole
I don't want the music to hurt me
But I can't get away
When the emptiness leaves a vacuum
Light flees from the day

There! In silence a scream!
Probably just a hope
But it sounds so real to me

The straws I grasp for are brittle
Even just a little
Meaning warms me like the sun
Every word drains me now
Each song adds to this darkened cloud
Each time I wonder if I'm finally done

Hey~
Why's the music gone so flat
Oooh, oooooh
Hey~
Ohhh~
