Bones Brigade

Is this a dream or am i awake?
I pull myself into a smile, but you know im a fake
drained from living because im constantly giving
these feeding hands are bitten and feel so constricting
here comes the sun like a five knuckled kiss
when day breaks me and my pillow reminisce
stay up all night, somebody shut me off
another day on no sleep ill give it all that ive got
im closing doors in the face of everyone who cares
havent seen sunlight in days
this isnt how i wanted it to be
what am i becoming?
running on empty!
they say this way of life is a sign of depression
a way to an early grave, well maybe thats my minds intention
it plays tricks on me, tests me how to be
puts a mirage in front of life, i rub my eyes but i cant see
are you out there? well im in here
in my head i hear voices but nobodies there
ive totally lost touch, ive fallen under a curse
im a brain-dead apparition forced to wander the earth
running on empty!
i cant feel my fingers, i cant feel my toes,
im consciously sedated and nobody knows
the troubles ive seen, the place ive been,
im losing myself to a life of bad breams
running on empty!
