Burnout Lyrics

What does it mean?

How could this be?

I was only just beginning

To understand

Why I was losing

A winning hand

A cruel joke in the plot

Like someone really gave it thought

Twisting in the knife

Going for the cheap shot

Is that all you've got

Is that all you've got?

Now I'm wasting all my days

Looking for an out

Just to melt away sitting on my couch

Proving everybody right

As if they had a doubt

I'm a burnout

Every night I grind my teeth

I'm sure I'm not just losing sleep

Everyday

I lose my way

Every morning I

Have to find it

Now I'm wasting all my days

Looking for an out

Just to melt away sitting on my couch

Proving everybody right

As if they had a doubt

I'm a burnout

Who could say if I

Ever really had a chance?

What's the shame if all I do

Is sing and dance?

The game is rigged

And we're all stuck

In a trance

And circumstance

Watching the sunrise in the city while the shadows still fall

Give into feeling that the world is big

And you're so small

Waiting for the day that I don't dread your call

Loosen your grip and make a choice

Because you can't have it all

If you need me

You can reach out

I can make the time

I can find you

Shoot a flare out

In the night

I can save you

I can lead you

To the light

But I can't make you fight

I never wanted you to see the way it was

The same pitfall that gets us all

Looking past the ugly reality

Lost in spite and irony

No dead weight

Tempting fate

No escape

No escape
