Road To Nothing

Well, I could learn the secrets of the stars and still I'd feel I need help
Belated realizations at the asteroid belt
Where all the regulars are tryin' to get away from themselves
I'm driftin' off, I'm dealing with my personal hell

I feel I've seen a lot but some would say I'm still just a kid
Well, nothin' teaches more than regrettin' what you did
I always look back feeling stupid 'bout the things that I hid
Yeah, I'd exhume all of my problems if I knew how to dig

And I'm still tryin' to figure out some things
Still kinda waitin' for nothing
Oh, how'd I ever end up in
In a race on a road to nothing? (Hey, yeah, oh)
In a race on a road to nothing
(In a race on a road to nothing)

I reckon unchecked contemplation is a powerful drug
And I've been tryin' to clear my airways, I've been tryin' to grow up
Instead of learnin' how to worry, I could learn how to love
And maybe mess around and guess at how to clean myself up
And yeah, before that, I should probably learn to wake before noon
But how am I supposed to wake up when there's so much to do?
Maybe today I'll get things done, honestly that could be cool
Someday I'd like to play the expert 'stead of being the fool, and well

All of the moments
In which I wish I could live
Are comprised of components
Made out of things I won't give
It's inevitability
Semantic shelter that lasts
No accountability
'Til time has already passed

I'm still tryin' to figure out some things
Still kinda waitin' for nothing
Oh, how'd I ever end up in
In a race on a road to nothing?
Oh, in a race on a road to nothing (hey, yeah)
In a race on a road to nothing
(In a race on a road to nothing)
(In a race on a road to nothing, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

I wanna feel just a little bit more
And go where I've never before
And deal with the days as they're dawning
Oh, what a beautiful morning
