Switched Off

The coffee went cold beside my unmade bed.

I trace the same crack in the ceiling again.

My phone lights up for someone else's life.

I let it die and I don't plug it in.

Chorus

I am not sad, I am just switched off.

I am not here, I am just a soft hum.

Nothing hurts, and that's the worst part.

I wait for sleep like it's a person.

The mirror keeps a stranger I don't recognize.

His eyes are flat, his mouth is a thin line.

I practice saying I'm fine to the empty room.

The words fall down and pool around my feet.

Chorus

I am not sad, I am just switched off.

I am not here, I am just a soft hum.

Nothing hurts, and that's the worst part.

I wait for sleep like it's a person.

Bridge

The streetlight flickers like it's tired of me.

Rain writes the same note on my window all night.

I used to want things, I think, long ago.

Now I just want the quiet to stop being loud.

Chorus

I am not sad, I am just switched off.

I am not here, I am just a soft hum.

Nothing hurts, and that's the worst part.

I wait for sleep like it's a person.

Outro

The sun comes up and I close the blinds.

Another day I don't have to feel.

Another day I don't have to feel.
