race against myself

Offspring

All I want
All I need
Always lies just out of reach
I?ve been coming up empty

I?ve run as fast
As I can run
I?ve pushed as hard as anyone
Still there?s nothing for me

(and I run)
I?ve tried as hard as I can
(and I need)
I?ve taken all I can stand
(and I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself

Burning out
Strung along
Now my sorrow is my song
My whole world is half-hearted

For my pain
I have none
After all is said and done
Now I?m back where I started

(and I run)
I?ve gone as far as I can
(and I need)
I?ve taken all I can stand
(and I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
