Empty Shot Glass - George Shingleton

Outside there's a light that shines for the left behind With past regret now at the forefront of your mind Why'd you never make it, how'd you turn this way Can't take it anymore, not one more day! You always forfeit what was right for the easy way One, two, three, four! Feelin'... Cheated! No hope, you're so frustrated! Ever searching out what you can't find You see your life was a game that you just can't win Nobody knows all you've ever seen You ever sit on the sidelines while the world passes you by Still, you wonder why (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Your life's a glass half empty (Way, oh, oh, woah, oh!) Know what it is, what it could be (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Always "The world's out to get me What you've earned and want just ain't the same Men on knees, all down in paradise Still want to see you through the sands of time We will be martyring the men on the breeze So sad that life had passed them by (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Your life's a glass half empty (Way, oh, oh, woah, oh!) Know what it is, what it could be (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Always "The world's out to get me." What you've earned and want just ain't the same That's where your problems start For the hole that's in your heart Filled up with all the things you've never had Keep screaming "Is it justice that made me?" "Can all the lies betray me?" A victim and a martyr howl these yore But it's just half true (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Your life's a glass half empty (Way, oh, oh, woah, oh!) Know what it is, what it could be (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Always "The world's out to get me." What you've earned and want just ain't the same You're the light that shines for the ones who were left behind! (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Your life's a glass half empty. (Way, oh, oh, woah, oh!) Know what it is, what it could be (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Always "The world's out to get me." What you've earned and want...

They're all gone Only me and you now It's nearly dawn I ask myself, how? Disintegration Of a unity Justification All led by guilt It's all gloomy now The remains Of a life The glass is empty I drink from it nonetheless I cannot follow where you might descend To stay alive It all crumbles in the end The box is empty I open it nonetheless The fear of leaving keeps me here I cannot follow where you might descend To stay alive It all crumbles in the end Walking alone Too late to atone Falling away from Away from us Efforts are made Trying to aid Is it too late now? Too late now? Walking alone Too late to atone Falling away from Away from us Efforts are made Trying to aid Is it too late now? Too late now? Are you too proud to reach out for a helping hand? Too much resistance will leave you blind I cannot follow where you might descend To stay alive It all crumbles in the end The glass is empty I drink from it nonetheless Is this loyalty? Or is it fear? I cannot follow where you might descend To stay alive It all crumbles in the end I cannot follow where you might descend To stay alive It all crumbles in the end Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh Oooh-ooooh-oooh Oooh-ooooh-oooh To stay alive Oooh-ooooh-oooh Oooh-ooooh-oooh Oooh-ooooh-oooh Oooh-ooooh-oooh To stay alive Oooh-ooooh-oooh Oooh-ooooh-oooh Losing touch Fading out Withering in pain Falling on your knees Falling on your knees Leave this world Leave this world The war within you never ends Hence you blame it on everyone else I take a step back You move forward I can't stay here anymore I have to leave, I have to leave I've never ever in my whole life seen anyone going this low How can we help you when you're not letting us go? Letting us go The room is shrinking You keep on drinking I have to leave, I have to leave I have to go I've never seen anyone going this low I have to leave I have to go I lock the door Can't win this war I leave this prison of guilt I leave this prison of guilt Tearing down what we've built
