Lyrics

nothing left to say no more
nothing left to do
i'm insincere again
your cigarette burns just like a fuse
now i'm the lucky one
face down on the silver spoon
and i wish you'd just push me

away, away beyond the stage
where i know you'd like to be
you live your life like a monologue
you never let me speak
clap clap goes the audience
never once let 'em stop to breathe
and what's good for you
is all that you can see

thought you said i taught you how
to beat the demons down
lies lies and your false surprises
and just look at us now

ashes ashes on my face
a red jacket on my floor
i can't believe after all you've seen
you keep coming back for more
big tears in her eyes
wins an award when she cries
thank you, thank you and goodnight

i swear i'm on my way
and i think you should be, too
i guess that i'll get canonized
in the stories that you use
to prove yourself to friends of other friends
and the lucky ones to be
but like i said, it don't matter all that much to me
