Burning Out Lyrics by Chief State

Waiting For Your Colours

0

I’ve been struggling to breath today
Empty lungs but words to say
I medicate to numb the pain
And hope that I don’t fade away

In case you heard I’m doing better now
It’s only ‘cos I’ve learned to hide away
I was hoping that tonight we could pretend like we’re only seventeen
Without problems only dreams
I’ve been trying but it’s hard for me

I’m finding out that it’s only getting harder
I find it tough ‘cos my body’s getting older
I thought by now there’d be something I’d be proud of
Drowning in doubt, that’s all I ever do now
I guess I’m burning out
Can someone show me how?
Can somеone show me?

I feel so worthless, it’s gеtting to me
Everyday is just another dose of apathy
But if you could see what is happening
Maybe you might feel some sympathy

I’m finding out that it’s only getting harder
I find it tough ‘cos my body’s getting older
I thought by now there’d be something I’d be proud of
Drowning in doubt, that’s all I ever do now
I guess I’m burning out
Can someone show me how?
Can someone show me?

I thought of giving up
‘Cos all I give is not enough
Will I falter at the top?
Will anybody give a fu*k?
Is this my life lesson
To live in apprehension?

I’m finding out that it’s only getting harder
I find it tough ‘cos my body’s getting older
I thought by now there’d be something I’d be proud of
Drowning in doubt, that’s all I ever do now
I guess I’m burning out
Can someone show me how?
Can someone show me?
