Life's too short - for me to chew
On the fat of your land
Just can't fake - what I say
I stopped caring yesterday
That is all - That is all
Wiped the slate - cleaned my plate
Won't let the gun come down for free
Fire off - your desperate words
Bullets bounce right off of me
That is all - That is all -
(All you need is everything, but everything’s not me)
And I feel like you're sinking
In the water that feeds your soul
Are you frightened of the dark
Or just scared of growing old?
Always something out of nothing
Do you stand by what you say?
Always something out of nothing
That is all - That is all
Does the fine - fit the crime
Or do I take this mother down?
Don’t have time - for stupid games
I've got fame to chase around
That is all - That is all
(All you need is everything, but everything’s not me)
And I feel like you're sinking
In the water that feeds your soul
Are you frightened of the dark
Or just scared of growing old?
Always something out of nothing
Do you stand by what you say?
Always something out of nothing
That is all - That is all - That is all - That is all ---
