All Used Up

All Used Up By Kevin Robey November 18, 2013 [Verse 1] Just as messed up as I seem My ears bleed every night I dream Gasping every time I breathe Just turn around and look at me You may see clarity and sanity But it’s vanity and insanity Every time that I pass you by Thinking every smile is another lie Ran from shadows every day and night Never did I turn and fight Ran every day from everything Now there's nothing left to bring I’m all used up I’m all used up… [Chorus 1] Can you see me falling apart? Should’ve known right from the start That every deceiving face I show Leaves me alone, yeah now I know [Verse 2] They’ve moved on, this much I see No sound as I fall straight to my knees It makes so much sense I’m finally alone Facing sunsets every night on my own This is the world that I blocked out They wanted me, I was devout In my beliefs, but now I shout Lost prophesies so full of doubt I’m holed up in this empty room Feels more like my nightly tomb I’m quiet now, I just gave up No more drinks, pour out the cup I’m winding down, but soon I’ll dream Of shiny things from brighter scenes I’ll sleep for a while, and soon I’ll call Cause you won’t see me the day I fall I know my fate It's way too late... [Chorus 2] Can’t you see me falling apart? Always knew this from the start That every deceiving lie I tell Leaves me alone, yeah I'm in hell *listening to...* ["artificial nocturne" by Metric]
