Running in Place

Dead lights and empty bottles
Another year is hard to swallow
Let's build this up just to break it down
Let's build this up just to break it down again
Foreign lands and inner struggles
Your demands have gotten shallow
Let's build this up just to break it down
Let's build this up just to break it down again
Cut the cord, I can make it on my own

You never mattered anyway
When I lost you, I found my place
Well, I can get you from my clothes
I'll never stand outside your window
You never mattered anyway
When I lost you, I found my place
Well, I can get you from my clothes
I'll never stand outside your window

I know the soil and the dirt
Are all my friends and have my heart
My family's gone, and all that's left
Is a stupid song and a hole in my chest

Well I'm still here and I'm still breathing
The top on my heart is hardly beating
She keeps repeating all that she needed
But I don't care, I like this distance
Cut the cord, I can make it on my own

You never mattered anyway
When I lost you, I found my place
Well, I can get you from my clothes
I'll never stand outside your window
You never mattered anyway
When I lost you, I found my place
Well, I can get you from my clothes
I'll never stand outside your window

Let's build this up just to break, break, break it down
Let's build this up just to break, break, break it down
All my friends are gone and they're not coming back again
Let's build this up just to break, break, break it down
All my friends are gone and they're not coming back again
All my friends are gone and they're not coming back again
All my friends are gone and they're not coming back again

You never mattered anyway
When I lost you, I found my place
Well, I can get you from my clothes
I'll never stand outside your window
You never mattered anyway
When I lost you, I found my place
Well, I can get you from my clothes
I'll never stand outside your window
