When the Money Ran Out

from The Chekhov's Gun EP by Chekhov's Gun

lyrics

We thought we’d take the world by storm
But by the end we found
The world had been flooded and we wanted more
Now you’re lying on the bathroom tile
Ain’t it funny all the cracks in the armor
You’re cracking a smile
Well we buried hatchets six feet deep
But every now and then
They come back to haunt us and keep us from sleep
Now you’re staring with your bloodshot eyes
Glazed over oversensitive to sound and to light

Done right by us
Fought our fights and we lost
Couldn’t keep our glass house
When the money ran out

I thought you were the perfect love
Sent from heaven
Now I know there ain’t nothing to see up above
Playing chicken, let’s see who folds first
But let me tell you now
I’ll go all the way to the grave with the curse

I've been pining, panning for that gold
but so far I'm just a fool
And all I can dig up is coal
I'll lay my shovel down if you will too
I've dug so long
But I can never get back to the center of you

So grab a bucket right now
Help me bail us out
We’ve been sinking on down
Since the money ran out

Your honesty makes my skin crawl
I don’t want to hear it so
It’s better for you to say nothing at all
I’m done trying to patch these holes
I keep on working, working
Working my fingers right down to the bone
But the outside world, it leaks in still
Even with both of us
There’s too many cracks that we never can fill
We’re thirsty but we’re drowning
And we’re starving but we’re stuffed
And we’ve got everything we need
But it’s never no never enough

When the money ran out
