Running on... (Train Wreck Pt II)

Waking up, find the beast glowering on my chest

I can't breath, I can't hope; nothing but regrets

Beast rasping low 'bout the fight I shouldn't put up

If I just stay down it says I can't fuck things up.

Failing forward, shit always runs downhill

Beast's bruit in my mind like a dental drill

The toll it takes can't be paid with a speed pass...

a pound of flesh, my 'mortal soul', or my useless ass.

- Reruns of serial failure play in my head... I never learn...and here I go again -

Let the rains fall and wash the veil away.

I ain't Cube and today's not a good day.

Enervated, cast away ignes fatui

Running on nothing but belligerence and caffeine

(I'm my own enemy...)

How do I know that prayer has no power friend?

Damn near every day I pray that this farce will end.

But here I am still losing ground by the minute

Word is I should hold on but my heart isn't in it.

Raggedy man. Rice paper skin raked with melancholy.

Broken man. Foolish, anxious, lost and spiraling

Without purpose, without meaning, without usefulness

Cup half full, yet filled; brimming with emptiness

- Reruns of serial failure play in my head... I never learn...and here I go again -

Let the rains fall and wash the veil away.

I ain't Cube and today's not a good day.

Enervated, cast away ignes fatui

Running on nothing but belligerence and caffeine

I burned my destiny...

I know I offer nothing.

And I bring the room down.
Wish that I could make you smile,
but I'm not that sort of clown.

Let the rains fall and wash the veil away.

I ain't Cube and today's not a good day.

Enervated, cast away ignes fatui

Running on nothing but belligerence and caffeine

Let the reins fall and I will drift away.

Things don't change 'cause you dream it that way.

I can't win and for me there's no retreat

Running on nothing but belligerence and caffeine...

Running on nothing but belligerence and caffeine

Running on nothing but belligerence and caffeine...
