Streetlight Manifesto Failing, Flailing Lyrics

you say you've got the cure
but i don't have a disease
and you say you've got the answers
but i've made no inquiries
and you're failing
bailing
good god m_________er now i hear you flailing
i see you flailing
that's right i think i do
i see you flailing away

i know it's hard but so are you
and so am i and we'll pull through together, together
and i said that it's been years but i still fear
that someone dear will leave me here forever,
forever and i said:
hey!

hey! you've got to keep trying
you've got to keep holding onto what you've got
because what you've got it sure ain't a lot
and hey!
everyone's falling down
everyone's holding out for what you've got
but what you've got, it sure ain't a lot
and you act like it is but you know that it's not
and even if it was, would you ever give it up?
if i told you what you had was really nothing?
nothing?
nothing!
yes, it's nothing
nothing at all

so you say your life's a bore
and i can't quite disagree
if you judge your life by the pieces of s___ that inhabit your tv
because they stand so proud, and they talk too loud
and every other word is a lie
i've found that everyone who is anyone is a waste of time
a waste of time

nothing
you won't say nothing
you don't say nothing
and that's just fine

Take me back to that day when I went blind
I would like to see your face one last time

sticks and stones may break my bones
but names will never hurt me
and it's been years but still i fear that someday they'll desert me
oh, it's hard, i know
when it's time to stand alone
and no one understands you
