Glass Bones and Paper Skin Lyrics

I’m burning out

Like a match in the wind

Searching for cover but I know I’ll never win

(I’ll never win)

(I’ll never win)

I’m learning to fall ‘cause

I’m too tired to stand

Face to face with all the broken things I am

(Face to face with all the broken things I am)

So I’m holding on

But not for long

I keep my failures

Close to me

What do you do

When nothing goes right

In your entire life

I always thought I’d get out

But I guess that I got caught

And now I see

It’s indicative of me

My only map

Has been blown away

Retrace my steps back to where I fell apart

(I fell apart)

(I fell apart)

And I’ll tell myself

That I’ll try again

Lying ‘cause I know I’ll come in last

(Lying ‘cause I know I’ll come in last)

So I’m hanging on

But not for long

My efforts fell short

At the line

What do you do

When nothing goes right

In your entire life

I always thought I’d get out

But I guess that I got caught

And now I see

It’s indicative of me

Pacing back and forth

I don’t know where to turn

All this time I thought

I knew all there was to learn

But now I see

That was never the case

Never moving forward

I was running in place

I'm not down and out

I'm just down on my luck

My stable sense of self

Has been pulled out with the rug

I'm not down and out

I'm just down on my luck

I gotta keep pushing

Even when I feel like

Giving up

What do you do

When nothing goes right

In your entire life

I always thought I’d get out

But I guess that I got caught

And now I see

It’s indicative of me
