When Words Run Dry Lyrics

You put on such a show

A dazzling display

Of a mean contender who'll make the play

With your talk and tools

You nearly had me fooled

But it's forged and cheap in every way

I'm in the game, if only they could see

But who'd back a calamitous thing like me?

So I try to emulate all that you do

But my blundering fear bleeds right through.

They say "you'd better try a bit harder to show us what you're worth"

I guess I better play a bit smarter.

So I'll fight until I'm free from

Everything they think of me, and

We'll see who's standing when words run dry.

What a mess we're in this vicious industry

You're so slick, all teeth, so unlike me.

Is there a way to step out of the constant grind?

But I know I have purpose deep inside.

Sometimes I think I'll try a bit harder to show them what I'm worth

In fact, I gotta play a bit smarter.

So I'll fight until I'm stronger

Play the game just a little bit longer

And we'll see who's standing when words run dry.
