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 stranger’s 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 friends

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

I am hurt, and even worse, I’m uninspired

Now I’m hurt and even worse, I’m uninspired
