the  cup is not half empty  as pessimists say
as  far as he's sees  nothings left in the  cup
a  whole cup full of nothing  for him to induldge
since  the voice of ambition  has long since been shut  up
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
so  he voyages in circles  succeeds getting nowhere
and  submits to the substance  that first got him there
than  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
he  feels  alone
his  heart in (alone)
A
he feels alone
G---------
 I feel....
then  on that last  day he breaks
and  he stood tall  and he yelled  yeah he yelled
Why Why Why again
 (fade out)
 Thanx so much guys i loved doing this for you....
