Lyrics

I Can't Go On

[Intro]

I can’t go on

Deflate the air from both of my lungs

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

I shudder earthquakes at the thought

Of a life that’s meaningless

And with such a promising past

But you can always count on me

To choke in the end

[Chorus 1]

I can’t go on

Deflate the air from both of my lungs

I’ll be gone

Long before daylight shows its face

[Verse 3]

Well, honestly I'm 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

[Verse 4]

What’s really right

Who’s who to say

I can survive alone again

Figured that out the hardest way

The forecast calls for fire

But flames sound nice today

[Chorus 1]

I can’t go on

Deflate the air from both of my lungs

I’ll be gone

Long before daylight shows its face

[Chorus 2]

It's old and worn

And its mouth smiles no more

Well I'm worth my weight in potting soil

Maybe I've tried too hard to care

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus 1]

I can’t go on

Deflate the air from both of my lungs

I’ll be gone

Long before daylight shows its face

[Chorus 2]

It's old and worn

And its mouth smiles no more

Well I'm worth my weight in potting soil

Maybe I've tried too hard to care

[Outro]

I can’t go on (I can't go on)

Deflate the air from both

Of my lungs

I can’t go on (I can't go on)

Deflate the air from both

Of my lungs

I can’t go on
