lyrics

We're headed nowhere down this road marked with intentions of a hero
But they vanished one by one, I guess I'm not who I thought that I was
Now it's all gone to pieces, it's all been shattered in the dust
Can someone please help me find the gold left in the rust

When promises become a quick fix, just a means to an end
How far is it from virtue to condescend

But have you ever felt the tremors of just not being quite enough
What if my best shot won't measure up
But if it's true that the hero doesn't lose then tell me
Tell me what, oh tell me what I am to you

If this is really nowhere, we'll be out of here by dawn
All that you have is all that I need to retrace just what you've drawn
It's hangin on your neck and it's hanging on your shoulders
I can take this fall for you if you just hand it over

Why do you want to push even farther
Your fist full of pride is only getting larger
These lies have got you just spinning out of control
Does that emptiness make you finally feel whole

But have you ever felt the tremors of just not being quite enough
But I know one day I'll lift you up
Because it's true that hero doesn't lose and tell me
Tell me what, oh tell me what I am to you
