In the Dust

The first time I feel weak, not strong
I'm in a place I don't belong
The medication dulls the pain keeps me from righting what is wrong

Been living someone else's dream
Pain brings us to reality
Wake up to realize I'm just a cog in the machine

I thought I'd find a purpose I was wrong
Getting stuck in the emptiness of it all, kept me from going

I thought we had a good thing going this year
I thought we learned our lessons from the past
Somewhere along the way we lost direction
We keep for getting what its all about
I thought we had a good thing going this year
I thought we learned our lessons from the past
Somewhere along the way we lost direction
We keep for getting what its all about

She never thought she'd die alone
So out of place so far from home
Now empty bottles fill her days, the void he left when he was gone

Is there a reason to survive
Is there a reason to come home
Never thought she'd make it out alive
At times she didn't even try

In the dust of this planet we look for love
No meaning beneath and no truth above
But we keep on going

I thought we had a good thing going this year
I thought we learned our lessons from the past
Somewhere along the way we lost direction
We keep for getting what it's all about
I thought we had a good thing going this year
I thought we learned our lessons from the past
Somewhere along the way we lost direction
We keep for getting what it's all about

But in the end you won the game
The world would never look the same
They set out to find themselves and found somebody else

I thought we had a good thing going this year
I thought we learned our lessons from the past
Somewhere along the way we lost direction
We keep forgetting what its all about

I thought we had a good thing going this year
I thought we learned our lessons from the past
Somewhere along the way we lost direction
We keep forgetting what its all about
