(Slow, mournful blues guitar riff, a single, sustained note followed by a quick, sad phrase. A slow, shuffling drum beat and a deep, walking bassline join in.)
(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning, sun didn’t feel so bright
Got a heavy feeling in my soul, and it’s dark as night
Tried to get my footing, tried to walk a straight line
But my feet are moving sideways, all the time
(Chorus)
Oh, this ain’t my body, this ain’t my mind
Left myself somewhere down the road, and I can’t seem to find
The person I was, the man I used to be
I lost control, and now I’m just a memory
(Verse 2)
Been talking to my shadow, he don’t say much at all
He just stares back at me, a-standing tall
Tried to find the answers in the bottom of a glass
But all it does is make the lonely feelings last
(Guitar Solo)
(A soulful, wailing guitar solo. It starts slow and sorrowful, bending notes to express deep sadness, then builds with a bit more intensity, before returning to a quiet, reflective melody.)
(Chorus)
Oh, this ain’t my body, this ain’t my mind
Left myself somewhere down the road, and I can’t seem to find
The person I was, the man I used to be
I lost control, and now I’m just a memory
(Bridge)
They say you gotta hold on, gotta fight the good fight
But when your own hands are the ones that hold you tight
I’m a stranger in my own house, a ghost in the hall
Just waiting for the moment that I finally fall
(Outro)
(The music slows down, the guitar plays a final, single, sad note. The drums hit the cymbal once, letting it fade out slowly.)
Lost control…
Yeah, I lost control…
(The final sound is the slow, sad echo of the bass)
