Sean Donnelly - A Shortcoming Lyrics

The constant wish I could
Comparison bargains
Thoughts that could even kill
Greed and growing
And we know it
Can't stop it

The American dream
Can do anything
Constricted to that of which is me
It's who you know
Not what you know
Means something

What we are, embarrassing
Effortlessly destroying what we've done
We as martyrs
Will eventually lead to our own extinction

I could never let my dreams
Pull ahead of yours
It's not something
That affects your way of living
Strips the very existence of us
We're shadow pinned the guilty
And destruction is spreading

It feels like I've been running all day
My feet are getting tired
And when I have the right words to say
I'm speechless, and troubled

It feels like I've been running all day
My feet are getting tired
And when I have the right words to say
I'm speechless, yet troubled

Of these tragedies, and all the heartache
And with the air with breath
You throw it all away
Tragedies, and all the heartache
And with each mistake
You harness and embrace
Don't throw it all away
