Race Against my Self
Bryan Keith Holland
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
(And I wait)
I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fight)
But I am running a race
Against myself
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
(And I wait)
I've gone as far as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fight)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself
(And I wait)
I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fight)
But I am losing the race
Against myself
Against myself
Against myself
