Running On Empty
didn't see the light turn red
thoughts that burn inside my head
running on empty, running hard
all around me lies in shards
all the things I try to hide
eating like a cancer inside
pour them out into a glass
a leaking sieve that empties fast
I can see it fading away
memories sweet from yesterday
as I hold on to what was untrue
doing my best to hold on to you
