going nowhere

White Lies

Some days I wake up
so dissapointed to see my breath in the air
But it s all just vapour, I mean the whole thing
But I get up cause it s there
And I can function
You d never notice
My tank is caked with old oil
But I feel like every wheel is puntured, deflating slowly
Till I m just grinding the soil

Let the cake go bad, let the cards fall down
Hate to hate this drag, I keep pulling around
Life s a date you had just for the sake of going out

I don t wanna wake up dead in somebody s dream
(Going nowhere)
So whose are all the hands tugging hard at my seams?
(Going nowhere)
Like a giant in Japan or a sieve in the sea
(Going nowhere)
Oh, mirror on my wall, show me something but me
(Going nowhere)

Let s buy a farmhouse, let s buy an igloo
Middle finger up to the grid
Get a pack of dogs we won t have to train much
Just so they don t eat the kids

We ll go cold swimming, baring, grinning
We ll make a shrine of our souls
Pick our own gods like sweets at the movies
Dump all our tech in a hole

Let the cake go bad, let the cards fall down
Hate to hate this drag, I keep pulling around
Life s a date you had just for the sake of going out

I don t wanna wake up dead in somebody s dream
(Going nowhere)
So whose are all the hands tugging hard at my seams?
(Going nowhere)
Like a giant in Japan or a sieve in the sea
(Going nowhere)
Oh, mirror on my wall, show me something but me
(Going nowhere)

I m dead in somebody s dream
(Going nowhere)
There s hand tugging at my seams
(Going nowhere)
I m like a sieve in the sea
(Going nowhere)
Oh, mirror, show me something but me
(Going nowhere)

I m dead in somebody s dream
(Going nowhere)
There s hand tugging at my seams
(Going nowhere)
I m like a sieve in the sea
(Going nowhere)
Oh, mirror, show me something but me
(Going nowhere)
