Running On Nothing

Running on Nothing - ****ed 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
