tired, so tired

[Spoken Intro]
I’m tired… so damn tired…

Verse 1

Nobody ever calls
Think’n of a reason why anyone would
This house is breathing empty
I’d try to change it if I could

TV hums like a question
Like I’m not even there
I’m tracing all of the outlines
Of a life that isn’t fair

Verse 2

There’s a list on the table
That never sees the end
I move through all of the quiet
Wait’n for something in my world to bend

Time folds into corners
Where I used to feel alive
Now I watch it all disappearing
Every time I close my eyes

Hook (Chorus)

Tired… so tired…
It’s hard to live when you’re buried in dreams
Tired… so tired…
From nothing ever work’n out for me

Verse 3 (emotional anchor – your key idea)

Thought my dreams would free me
Disappointment only changed my skin
Now I don’t feel lighter
Just different than I’ve been
But these dreams didn’t leave me
They settled in my bones
No longer who I once was
Closer to the end of my rope

Bridge

I crossed through the fire without a sound
No victory waiting when I came out
Just the quiet knowledge in what I’ve learned
Doing my best without getting burned

Final Chorus

Tired… so tired…
It’s hard to live when you’re buried in dreams
Tired… so tired…
From nothing ever work’n out for me

Repeat – Outro

Tired… so tired…
It’s hard to live when you’re buried in dreams
Tired… so tired…
But I’m still praying for opportunity
