Burnt Orange And Gray

Title: Burnt Orange & Gray
(Verse 1)
My heartbeat’s just a clock ticking down the hours
I don't care about the news, the rain, or the flowers
When you walked out, you took the volume with you
Left me in a room where every shade is blue
I try to read a book, but the words don't stick
Try to start a flame, but there ain't no wick
I’m a ghost in my clothes, just going through the routine
Living out a life on a faded TV screen
(Chorus)
I got no love for the world, no fire in my veins
No tears left to fall for the losses or gains
Except when I spark up and step onto the porch
And watch the horizon turn into a torch
As the sun bleeds out in a violet blaze
I feel a sudden spark through the heavy, sweet haze
For five quick minutes, I’m alive in the light
Before the glow dies and I slide into night
(Verse 2)
Music sounds flat, coffee tastes like dust
Nothing left in this world that I care to trust
People talk about their dreams like they actually matter
All I hear is wind and empty, senseless chatter
I don't hate you, I don't miss you, I don't feel a trace
You’re just a blur in an unfamiliar place
(Chorus)
I got no love for the world, no fire in my veins
No tears left to fall for the losses or gains
Except when I spark up and step onto the porch
And watch the horizon turn into a torch
As the sun bleeds out in a violet blaze
I feel a sudden spark through the heavy, sweet haze
For five quick minutes, I’m alive in the light
Before the glow dies and I slide into night
(Bridge)
Takes a slow exhale and a crimson sky
To pull a single feeling from a deadened eye
Just a quiet high while the day melts down
Watching golden ribbons wrap around this town
(Outro)
Nothing moves me anymore, nothing hits the core
Just a dawn rising up or a sunset on the floor
High off the smoke, washed in the flame
The only time I remember my own damn name
Yeah, watching it burn...
The only time I feel a thing.
