Race Against Myself

All I want

All I need

Always lies just out of reach

I've been coming up empty

I've run as fast

As I can run

I've pushed as hard as anyone

Still there's nothing for me

I've tried as hard as I can

I've taken all I can stand

But I am running a race

Against myself

Burning out

Strung along

Now my sorrow is my song

My whole world is half-hearted

For my pain

I have none

After all is said and done

Now I'm back where I started

I've gone as far as I can

I've taken all I can stand

But I am running a race

Against myself
