Ever Ronquillo - Running On Nothing lyrics

How could we be 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, feign surprise Afraid to admit that it's all a facade You wind up alone in spite of what they laud Well I been marchin' for so long I towed that line, so strong I kept holdin' until it tore me apart Until I (?) in my chest and ripped out my heart So mother, may I please submit, the notion I no longer believe in this sh**? Lay me on the consummation bed A fatal blow driven to the maidenhead We're runnin on nothin' But 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 Well, I believe one could put it best We spend most of life dealin' with the mess The saddest joy is (?) I concede But the bitter resolution is why I secede Sick of fallin' from the lowest low The higher the height, the further you go Pull myself back to bended knee Just an emotion, it hurts physically Swans mate for life or so I've heard Which is fitting, because that sh**'s for the birds (Chorus) They leave, it hurts See it comin', it's worse Stiff upper lip try to carry on Let's pretend this sh** is makin' us strong And we only can take so much Before all our sense of decency is finally crushed And all that's left is a dried out husk With the belief that love isn't gonna save us (Chorus) Those better days ain't gonna come Those better days have pa**ed us by Those better days have all run out 'Cause those better days were a lie Fall (x4)
