Shin Splints

lyrics

At the rate I’ve been going I’ll be lucky to see the next year.
Maybe months? It’s all the same.
I’ve been tired; so damn tired.
Chained to this mortal coil. Addicted to the stress of it all.
Lapping at the fountain of my failures with the cheekiest of grins.
When things start going right take a blade to the soles of your feet
and start walking. Start walking. Start walking now.
Cauterised to suspend the thrill.
Lay back in ecstasy as the smell of defeat fills your lungs.
You’ve no real reason to feel the warmth.
At the end of the day you might just trick yourself.
The joke’s on you: I haven’t changed. I’ve no plans to.
I’ve been worn down. Rough not shined.
They had big, big plans for us and we pissed those all away
along with any opportunities we were handed.
Burn your hands. Tighten the grip. Fry your eyes. Keep staring.
At the end of the day, keep working. Keep working.
It’ll never stop.
It’s always more.
Give more.
Give more.
Give more.
Burn your hands. Tighten the grip.
Take your time. I know I’ve got mine.
Fry your eyes. Keep staring.
With nothing to achieve.
And nowhere to go.
It’s pure monotony.
