I can't go on
deflate the air from both
of my lungs

Fears one by one followed me home
and became reality
I'm a failure
I'm a freak
I'm a chip on your shoulder
the last thing you need

Shudder earthquakes at the thought of life thats meaningless
and with such a promising past
but you can always count on me
to choke in the end

I can't go on
deflate the air from both
of my lungs
I'll be gone long before daylight shows its face

Well, honestly im taking big strides
in a race towards normalcy.
where more is more and less is weak
where love is crap. emotion speaks for us all.

What's really right
who's who to say?
i can survive alone again
figured that out the hardest way
Forecast calls for fire
the flames sound nice today.


I can't go on
deflate the air from both
of my lungs
I'll be gone long before daylight shows its face

its old and bored
and its mouth smiles no more
now i'm worth my weight in potting soil
maybe i try to hard to care.

i left your note one your bed
i dont recall it saying
something like how completely miserable and I' better off dead

I can't go on
deflate the air from both
of my lungs
I'll be gone long before daylight shows its face

its old and bored
and its mouth smiles no more
now i'm worth my weight in potting soil
maybe i try to hard to care.

I can't go on
deflate the air from both
of my lungs

I can't go on
deflate the air from both
of my lungs

I can't go on

    General Comment:Awesome song. One of the best on Shudder!

    Quick lyrical correction:

    I left a note on your bed
    I don't recall what it said
    It's something like how I'm completely miserable and I'm better off dead

    General Comment:this is by far the best song on Shudder :]
    i like how all of the songs are way upbeat tho. and this one is just sad and chill.
    i think this one is about just wanting to give up on everyone and just not care anymore and just not wanting to go on. obviously. aha.

    General Comment:this is one of the best songs on the new album for sure. and no comments? sad.

    i believe he says:
    "i left a note on your bed
    i don't recall what it said
    something like how i'm completely miserable
    and I'm better off dead"

    and also i believe it's "it's old and worn." not "old and bored."

    it's pretty obvious what it's about too, i think. at least what i get out of it is he's just getting hit by reality, and realizing that even though things seemed so good, eventually it's over and it's too hard to try when you know that. i think.
