"What's The Use" lyrics

A double dose of your attention
Runs deep into my chest
The clocks will never rest
When you're not first in place
The distant views of a promotion
Looms over my head
I'm tired I'm depressed now

I'm never gonna rewrite all the pages
I'm never gonna headline on the news

So what's the use?

My aching heart is full of patience
It poses as a threat
The hardest ways the best
When you've got boots to fill
I'm breathing, grieving, self deceiving
The show is on the line
Will the curtain drop in time?

I'm never gonna rewrite all the pages
I'm never gonna headline on the news
I'm always gonna lay cards on the table

So what's the use?
I'm walking the wire
Sweet taste of desire
Inside ya

And so,
I'm losing, not fighting
I can't go on without it, without it

I always look for other reasons
To get out of my bed
And lay myself to rest
From all this silent noise
I'll flip a coin and never bet
The forces I regret, yeah I need to regret

I'm never gonna rewrite all the pages
I'm never gonna headline on the news
I'm always gonna lay cards on the table

So what's the use?
I'm walking the wire
Sweet taste of desire
Inside ya

And so,
I'm losing, not fighting
I can't go on without it, I can't go on without it

So what's the use now?

I'm never gonna rewrite all the pages
I'm never gonna headline on the news

So what's the use?
I'm walking the wire
Sweet taste of desire
Inside ya

Before
Cos' I'm losing, not fighting
I can't go on without it, without it
