zombie
Jamie .T Lyrics

Love she sees apart from me, possessed behind the eyes
She sees love in someone else, but it's not directed towards me. That person seems to be controlled by something dark and powerful.

Apart from frightening, the moaning and biting, seems to be a nice guy
Even though that person may seem scary with their unusual sounds and behavior, they might actually be a good person.

And I know what she thinks when she looks at me, when she looks with such despair
I understand what she thinks of me when she looks at me with such sadness and disappointment.

You're not the only one around here who needs a bit of fresh air
You're not the only one who needs to escape and breathe in some fresh air around here.

'Cause I'm a sad sack, post teen, could have been a love machine
I'm feeling miserable and hopeless, not the romantic person I could have been.

No dream, concrete, walking like a zombie
My life is dull and mundane, and I feel like a lifeless zombie just going through the motions.

And I'm a coal train, fast lane, caught up in a dirty rain
I'm like a train hauling coal, speeding along the fast lane while being caught up in the mess of life.

No pain, no gain, working like a zombie
I'm working hard, with no reward or relief in sight, feeling like a zombie going through work motions without any passion.

Well this old place here, man it's falling apart
This place I'm stuck in is falling apart, and it's not getting any better.

She's on the road as she goes, but she won't get far
She may be moving along, but she's not making any significant progress in her journey.

I'm on a show to parole to the toad in a hole
I feel like I'm just performing and trapped in a similar fate like a toad in a hole.

I've gotta grow some roots, gotta prop up the bar
I need to establish some sense of stability in my life, like planting roots and holding onto something constant.

I've got bloodshot eyes and there's blood in my teeth
I'm exhausted, with red and sore eyes, and there's blood on my teeth due to the stress and pressure in my life.

I've got a ripped up jacket and a friend who's a thief
My clothes are torn and tattered, and I hang out with a person who is not respectable.

Well I'm a coughing out my mouth, trying to pull it out
I'm struggling and trying to cough something up, but it's not getting any better.

But the fire inside keeps burning, burning out
There's still a burning passion inside of me, but it's slowly fading away or being extinguished.

Oh you're running the situation
You're the one that is leading or controlling the current predicament.

Don't be afraid to be a friend
Don't be scared to be a friend to me or to others, as it can be a beacon of hope or light in their life.

'Cause I won't hurt you girl, or leave you unsaid
I promise I won't hurt you, nor would I abandon or leave you behind.

You make me live enough to love again
You bring joy and meaning to my life after a long time of feeling empty, allowing me to love again.
