Husk (Unplugged)

(album: Green Is The New Black - 2022)

I've felt too much and I'm turning numb
Like a worn-out knife I've become so dull
It's easier to shut out the world and be a monster
And far harder with no armour to be human

I'm still pouring myself into songs
Am I running out by living on?
I still hear him say
"It's better to burn out than to fade away"

I'm starting to waste away
A bitter sweet dance in a slow ballet
The twists and turns, they're beating me down
I'm following steps blindly
Tied down, confined to the routine
The pages turn but it's always the same

Someone give me direction, someone give me a sign
I feel no connection just walking the line
Cause it's easier to shut out the world and be a monster
And far harder with no armour to be human

It's easier to shut out the world and be a monster
And far harder with no armour to be human

I'm still pouring myself into songs
Am I running out by living on?
I still hear him say
"It's better to burn out than to fade away"

I'm starting to waste away
A bitter sweet dance in a slow ballet
The twists and turns, they're beating me down
I'm following steps blindly
Tied down, confined to the routine
The pages turn but it's always the same
