Washed Out
You're sinking down into a deep depression
And staring into space
Your mind is empty as the blank expression
Resting on your face
You're frozen still just like a marble statue
Except you look so bland
You're in a trance and you don't realize that you
Need a helping hand
You'll just waste away
Here in this prison it's an awful place to stay
Go out face the day
Before you're trapped here and your mind's been chased astray
Feel your taste decay
And now you realize what you're too afraid to say
Color fades away
And everything you see is washed-out shades of gray
You're sitting silently in total darkness
Some change is overdue
There's gotta be an easy way to spark this
Passion back in you
The day goes by and you don't move a muscle
So how much would it take
To join the hustle and bustle, a tussle and some fuss'll rustle you awake
You'll just waste away
Here in this prison it's an awful place to stay
Go out face the day
Before you're trapped here and your mind's been chased astray
Feel your taste decay
And now you realize what you're too afraid to say
Color fades away
And everything you see is washed-out shades of gray
You're not acting right
Where's your appetite
All you see is in black and white
And in fact it might feel like you're lacking sight
Don't turn back in fright
Attack and fight!
Here come haunted memories of which you'll never be ridden
They're cleverly hidden wherever they fit in
And it's forbidden to ignore them
But you're numb and all you feel is boredom
Over and over the same old routine
Like you can't break the cycle 'cause you're a machine
And your body is rusted and falling apart
You were in pretty bad shape from the start
This would be torture if you could feel pain
But your sensory nerves don't transmit to your brain
So discomfort and pleasure and all else is gone
What is the point of continuing on
You'll just waste away
Here in this prison it's an awful place to stay
Go out face the day
Before you're trapped here and your mind's been chased astray
Feel your taste decay
And now you realize what you're too afraid to say
Color fades away
And everything you see is washed-out shades of gray
And staring into space
Your mind is empty as the blank expression
Resting on your face
You're frozen still just like a marble statue
Except you look so bland
You're in a trance and you don't realize that you
Need a helping hand
You'll just waste away
Here in this prison it's an awful place to stay
Go out face the day
Before you're trapped here and your mind's been chased astray
Feel your taste decay
And now you realize what you're too afraid to say
Color fades away
And everything you see is washed-out shades of gray
You're sitting silently in total darkness
Some change is overdue
There's gotta be an easy way to spark this
Passion back in you
The day goes by and you don't move a muscle
So how much would it take
To join the hustle and bustle, a tussle and some fuss'll rustle you awake
You'll just waste away
Here in this prison it's an awful place to stay
Go out face the day
Before you're trapped here and your mind's been chased astray
Feel your taste decay
And now you realize what you're too afraid to say
Color fades away
And everything you see is washed-out shades of gray
You're not acting right
Where's your appetite
All you see is in black and white
And in fact it might feel like you're lacking sight
Don't turn back in fright
Attack and fight!
Here come haunted memories of which you'll never be ridden

Before you're trapped here and your mind's been chased astray
Feel your taste decay
And now you realize what you're too afraid to say
Color fades away
And everything you see is washed-out shades of gray
