Nothing Left to Lose by The Gatling Gun Revival Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He said yesterday's a memory that's fading
As each grain of sand slips through the hourglass
Withering away the sharpest edges carved in granite
And passion fades with compromise
Our aspiration brings us to the peaks of towers
And we claim our humble piece of cluttered sky
Till this stream of consciousness against which we've been swimming
Sweeps us away for the last time
[Pre Chorus]
And someday I will leave without a sound
I'm taking nothing with me to the ground
[Chorus]
Oh can't you see my nightmares coming true?
As we get lost among the mazes just looking for a better view
And now the lines once defined all become a blur
So we keep shuffling our feet till we collide
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Cause it's two steps forward and one step back
To discover all the things we lack
Frankly, I'm tired of playing by somebody else's rules
Oh and we're hard pressed to close the gaps
Between dotted lines engraved on maps
And what we have to gain becomes the truth
And now this ice on which we tread gets temperamental
Closer to the warmth of coming spring
Yet it satiates the urge we have to lose some control
And brings us close enough to death to feel alive
[Pre Chorus]
And someday I will leave without a sound
I'm taking nothing with me to the ground
[Chorus]
So we prance around this masqueraders ball
We argue with our magic mirrors 'bout who's the fairest of them all
There's no sickness equal to the pill of apathy
And how can we love if we've got something left to prove?
So then he raised his glass and he said, 'Here's to you
And here's to all the expectations that
We've yet to live up to'
You can live your life in fear of what they say
But I sure as hell don't hate what I've become
[Outro]
I'm an old man, I'm a worn man
And all the pieces of my heart have come unglued
Here at the Gatling Gun Revival
We only hope for our survival
And that's ok cause' I got nothing left to lose
I'm an old man, I'm a worn man
And all the pieces of my heart have come unglued
Here at the Gatling Gun Revival
We only hope for our survival
And that's ok cause' I got nothing left to lose
I'm an old man, I'm a worn man
And all the [?] of my soul begin to go[?]
Here at the Gatling Gun Revival
We put our hope in our survival
And [?] nothing left to lose
All to lose
All to lose
All to lose
He said yesterday's a memory that's fading
As each grain of sand slips through the hourglass
Withering away the sharpest edges carved in granite
And passion fades with compromise
Our aspiration brings us to the peaks of towers
And we claim our humble piece of cluttered sky
Till this stream of consciousness against which we've been swimming
Sweeps us away for the last time
[Pre Chorus]
And someday I will leave without a sound
I'm taking nothing with me to the ground
[Chorus]
Oh can't you see my nightmares coming true?
As we get lost among the mazes just looking for a better view
And now the lines once defined all become a blur
So we keep shuffling our feet till we collide
