Lyrics

[Verse 1] The cup is not half empty as pessimists say As far as he sees nothing's left in the cup A whole cup full of nothing for him to indulge Since the voice of ambition has long since been shut up [Chorus 1] A singer, a writer, he's not dreaming now of going nowhere He gave heed to nothing And all that he was is just a tragedy [Verse 2] So he voyages in circles and succeeds getting nowhere And submits to the substance, that first got him there There, there, there [Chorus 2] In violent frustration, he cries out to God or just no one Is there a point to this madness? And all that he was is just a tragedy [Bridge] He feels alone His heart in his hand, he's alone He feels alone I feel [Verse 3] Then on that last day he breaks And he stood tall, and he yelled, and he yelled (Why world, why world, hate you, hate you, bye world) [Chorus 2] In violent frustration, he cries out to God or just no one Is there a point to this madness? And all that he was is just a tragedy [Outro] Yeah, that goes on Very good, beautiful Oh, oh my god Please, come on Could be holding one, yeah? (Yeah) Lovely then, good work
