My day was so mundane, I don’t think I left the house,
drank a pot of coffee, tried to write, nothing came out.
Somehow it’s the weekend, I’m still bored out of my skull
and I went to a party but only on principle.
Empty… look at me.
I’m a zombie in my body, I’m a train off of the track.
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat.
I’m a sad shell of a woman* and I’ve got maggots for brains.
But that’s just a thing that happens when my,
when my baby goes away…
when my baby goes away…
he goes away.
Everything feels moldy like the fruit that’s in my fridge
and everything that’s funny, I wish I could tell to him.
And sometimes at a low point, I even wish for a tragedy
cuz I know hе’d come over and help me get through the week.
It’s so weird… he’s not here.
I’m a zombie in my body, I’m a train off of the track.
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat.
I’m a sad shell of a woman and I’ve got maggots for brains.
But that’s just a thing that happens when my,
when my baby goes away…
when my baby goes away…
he goes away, ohh.
What can I do
but think of you,
but think of you? (but think of you?)
What can I do
but think of you, (all I can do)
but think of you? (but think of)
I’m a zombie in my body, I’m a train off of the track.
I feel dirty, I feel rotten, and the colors are all flat.
I’m a sad shell of a woman and I’ve got maggots for brains.
But that’s just a thing that happens when my,
when my baby goes away.
What can I do (when my baby goes away)
but think of you,
but think of you? (wway, when my baby goes away)
What can I do (when my baby goes away)
but think of you,
but think of you? (away)
