Nothing Waiting

Johnny drank like Francis Phelan
He just spent time with all these ghosts
Of folks that never loved him
Then he'd talk of trying out again, he'd
"Wake up, get a job, and then get back to feeling human."

Sally cracked and now she's crumbling
She never really went out on a limb
For anything
They told her life was predetermined
Now she's terrified of it playing out
In ways she never wanted

Eric always had that burden
Of wanting to die instead of wake up
Every morning
A gun in the mouth, it won't make anything
Just a cleanup, and a funeral
And friends unanswered questions

So just remember
Some days, it all caves in
And nothing's gonna get better
You keep on screaming
"This is all we get, and there is nothing waiting."

You keep on screaming
"This is all we get, and there is nothing waiting at the end."
