"Zombie Girl" lyrics - ADRIANNE LENKER

What a dream that was
I almost couldn't wake because
I was frozen in bed with a zombie girl
Vacant as a closed down fair

Sleep paralysis, I sworn I could've felt you there
And I almost could've kissed your hair
But the emptiness withdrew me
From any kind of wishful prayer

[Chorus:]
Oh, emptiness
Tell me 'bout your nature
Maybe I've been getting you wrong
I cover you with questions
Cover you with explanations
Cover you with music

Then the next night
Dreaming I could feel your skin
But the dream escaped so easily
And I woke up to the road again

How your words ring through
Something kinda sweet and blue
And I knew that you'd been understanding
Everything that I'd said, too

[Chorus:]
About emptiness
Tell me 'bout your nature
Maybe I've been getting you wrong
I cover you with questions
Cover you with explanations
Cover you with music

[Outro:]
What's on your mind?
What's on your mind?
What's on your mind?
What's on your mind?
In your mind
