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~
