Great Big Nothin

I know that one thing always leads to another
Don't you think it's got a little bit out of hand?
Everybody's waiting on the next big happening
Putting their house by the water on the sand

There was a time when our word meant something
You made a promise with a grip and a forward glance
Shut it down, hit the restart button
We are the victims, and we never stood a chance

Turn the key
Has it all just been a lie?
Patiently, we're given life, watch it die
Before it learns to fly

Are we headed towards the great big nothin'?
Can you turn your back another day?
We're all sneakin', and we should be struttin'
Come on, meet me half the way

On a course for the ever after
Spinnin' circles towards the ground
We're all pullin' for the better actor
Sink or swim, breathe or drown

To some degree
Has it all just been a lie?
Patiently, we're given life, watch it die
Before it learns to fly

God enjoys sex and color
Does it matter in the end?
Rich and poor, one another
With no room to condescend

To some degree
Has it all just been a lie?
Patiently, we're given life, watch it die
Before it learns to fly
