You Got Nothing

from Ruminations by James Keyes

/

lyrics

You got pills, you got booze, always crying that you're born to lose
People come around you don't even know their names
You got smoked and you're broke
"Buddy can you spare a dime"
Just another day trying to prove that you're alive

When you wake up another day is gone
It's so easy to lose them all
Close your eyes remember hard, try to get back to the start
You got nothing if you've got nothing to break your heart

There ain't a thing that you can think of that'll make you feel at peace
Temptation is that friend who's always there
The devil's got no army just a couple of good ideas
Whispering that song to you that you love to hear

There's no more rage, no more dying of the light
All your fear won't lay to rest
There's no moon, no stars and no fire light
Just those ghosts pulling you back into the night
