uninspired

lucy spraggan

when the lights go out

and the show is over

when the crowd has gone

and you know you're sober

you put trust in all those people

who convinced you it was right

and while you can't

you know the boss will sleep tonight. i took time

there were things you won't believe

but there's warmth within this winter

there were harsher times than these

a stranger told me

i would find the light that's in the dark

now a strangers words i hold close to my heart. label you then leave you

no they won't stay for the fight

it's the closest thing to empty

and the furthest from the light

i got what i asked for

now i'm lonely and i'm tired

i am hurt

and even worse

i'm uninspired

always felt the rush

by the shows with empty rows

your transport in transit

and you pray for radio

you've a name that no one cares for

and a face that no one knows

you take that path cause it's the only route you know

label you then leave you

no they won't stay for the fight

it's the closest thing to empty

and the furthest from the light

i used to be an artist

now i'm nothing i desire

i am hurt

and even worse

i'm uninspired

curtains close and roses hit the stage

i forget the pain each time i hear you shout my name

you're my favourite memories

and i thank you no end

you're my reason

you're my life

and you're my friend

label you then leave you

no they won't stay for the fight

it's the closest thing to empty

and the furthest from the light

i used to be a person that i loved and i admired

now i'm hurt

and even worse

i'm uninspired
