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
