lyrics

Going Nowhere Fast

She told the lie so well
You would’ve sworn it was the truth
You can’t concern yourself
with such a simple thing like proof

It may not being the first time
I’m damn sure it’s not the last
But you’re never gonna get too far
By going nowhere fast

You primed yourself for glory
When you chose to rig the game
You may change your story
How it end stays just the same

You never know you’re falling
‘Til it’s almost much too late
I’m not sure there’s enough time left
for my heart to unbreak

A penny for your thoughts
A dollar for your doubt
A diamond for the days
That you can’t learn to live without
You swore to tell the truth
Cross your heart, hope to die
I’ve seen your brush strokes
And your picture paints a thousand lies

The path of least resistance
Is a road you know too well
You curse the weak’s existence
And you damn them all to hell

How can this be happening?
You scream towards the sky
It can’t be all that flattering
When you get no reply
