Gone Nowhere

I can't pay attention and I can't afford my rent
I wake up tired I'm always feeling spent
Every job I take leads me to even deader ends
I can't go couch surfing cause I need some better friends

I can't hope for change because I'm begging all the time
I need every nickel, every penny every dime
I know rain is coming but it's too late to prepare
When you're in the rat race there's no time to stop for air

Cause everything is wrong
And I can't see the light
If I can't work this out
I won't see you tonight

Cause I keep dragging on
But I don't know what's right
I know I won't see you tonight

I'm not good enough, And I'm going down
But I keep treading water cause I don't wanna drown
And I'm fighting back, cause it isn't fair
When I look behind me I can see that I've
Gone nowhere

In a cardboard castle I'm a king without a crown
One piece of paper and I see it topple down
I don't have a mortgage or diploma on my shelf
I'm not one for saving first I need to save myself

I can't pay attention and I can't afford my rent
I wake up tired - I'm always feeling spent
Every job I take just leads me to deader ends
I can't go couch surfing cause I need some better friends

Cause everything is wrong
And I can't see the light
If I can't work this out
I won't see you tonight

Cause I keep dragging on
But I don't know what's right
I won't see you tonight

I'm not good enough, And I'm going down
But I keep treading water I don't wanna drown
And I'm fighting back, cause it isn't fair
When I look behind me I can see that I've
Gone nowhere
