Lyrics

I'M NOT FEELING IT



(Verse 1)
Got an invite to a party down the street
Said there's free drinks and everyone we'd meet
My shoes are on, I'm standing by the door
Looking at the ceiling, staring at the floor
My thumb's on the screen, scrolling through the feed
Trying to pretend that this is what I need
And everybody's buzzing, jumping up and down
Painted on smiles in this neon town.
(Chorus)
But I'm just not feeling it
No, the spark is gone, I can't redeem it
You can turn the music up real loud
Paint me a picture of a happy crowd
Call it a mood, call it what you will
I'm just standing completely still
Yeah, the battery is dead, the spirit's quit
I'm just not feeling it.
(Verse 2)
Someone tried to hand me something in a cup
Said, "Hey stranger, you gotta live it up!"
I nodded my head, tried to play the part
Like there's a little rhythm beating in my heart
But it's just a flat line, grey and beige
Like I'm reading lines from a script of a play
That I didn't audition for, didn't want to read
Honestly right now, I just want to leave.
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm just not feeling it
No, the spark is gone, I can't redeem it
You can turn the music up real loud
Paint me a picture of a happy crowd
Call it a mood, call it what you will
I'm just standing completely still
Yeah, the battery is dead, the spirit's quit
I'm just not feeling it.
(Bridge)
Is it the weather? Is it the time?
Is there a dark cloud hanging over my mind?
Or maybe--just maybe--it's totally fine
To not be okay, to decline the shine
To sit on the couch in the quiet and dark
And let the world burn without leaving a mark.
(Guitar Solo - uninspired, bending slowly, slightly out of tune on purpose)
(Chorus)
Yeah, I'm just not feeling it
No, the spark is gone, I can't redeem it
You can turn the music up real loud
Paint me a picture of a happy crowd
Call it a mood, call it what you will
I'm just standing completely still
Yeah, the battery is dead, the spirit's quit
I'm just not feeling it.Yeah, I'm going home.
Take my shoes off.
Lock the door.
Turn my phone on silent.
I'm just...
Not...
Feeling it.
