Nothing Waiting

from Same Places by New Junk City

lyrics

Johnny drank like Francis Phelan.
He just spent time with all these ghosts
of folks that never loved him.
Then he’d talk of trying out again, he’d
“Wake up, get a job, and then get back to feeling human.”

Sally cracked and now she’s crumbling.
She never really went out on a limb
for anything.
They told her life was predetermined.
Now she’s terrified of it playing out
in ways she never wanted.

Eric always had that burden
of wanting to die instead of wake up
every morning.
A gun in the mouth, it won’t make anything,
Just a cleanup, and a funeral,
and friends unanswered questions.

So just remember:
some days, it all caves in
and nothing’s gonna get better.
You keep on screaming
“This is all we get, and there is nothing waiting.”

Johnny drank like Francis Phelan.
He just spent time with all these ghosts
of folks that never loved him.
Then he’d talk of trying out again, he’d
“Wake up, get a job, and then get back to feeling human.”

So just remember:
some days, it all caves in
and nothing’s gonna get better.
You keep on screaming
“This is all we get, and there is nothing waiting at the end.”
