lyrics

Why can’t I see how lucky I am?
Roof over my head and a right, good man
Why only the ever-empty cup
And no one noticin’ how I’m burnin’ up

From both ends

Big steel eyes all painted black
Once you’ve looked down that barrel, ain’t no comin’ back
I never will believe that he’s intent on stayin’
And no one’s noticin’ just how I’m frayin’

From both ends

It’s hard to see the light through a heavy shroud
Ain’t much of a life followed by some old cloud
When the grind’s got me worn down paper thin
My own heart cries out that it just can’t win

When will it end?
