Running On Nothing Lyrics
Running On Nothing - F**ked Up
How could we have been so blind to the effects each time
Why keep watching when you know the end
Why make this journey again and again
We know it's just pain and lies
Let's watch and feign surprise
Afraid to admit that it's all a facade
And we wind up alone in spite of what they laud
I've been marching for so long
I towed the line so strong
I kept holding until it tore me apart
A hand thrust in my chest and ripped out my heart
So mother may I please submit the notion
That I no longer believe in this sh*t
Lay me on the consummation bed
A fatal blow driven to the maidenhead
We're running on nothing
On the fumes of our dreams
At another point in my life
That was good enough for me
Short plume fades fast
The petals fall and crash
I believe one could put it best
"We spend most of life dealing with the mess"
The saddest joy is why I concede
But bitter resolution is why I secede
Sick of falling from the lowest low
The higher the height the further you go
Pull myself back to bended knee
Not just an emotion it hurts physically
Swans mate for life or so I've heard
Which is fitting because that sh*t's for the birds
We're running on nothing
The fumes of our dreams
At another point in my life
That was good enough for me
They leave it hurts
If you see it coming it's worse
Stiff upper lip as we try to carry on
Let's pretend that this is making us strong
And we can only take so much
Before our sense of decency is finally crushed
And all that's left is a dried out husk
With the belief that love isn't going to save us
We're running on nothing
Just the fumes of our dreams
At another point in my life
That was good enough for me
Those better days ain't going to come
Those better days have passed us by
Those better days have all run out
Because those better days were a lie
Fall
Fall
Fall
Fall
