Firing Blanks Songtext

Assume I had a chance to clear things out alone,
But tricks I used to know where laying under earth,
My last surviving hope had bidden me goodbye,
How loud I ever made that noise, how much it ever hurt,
Do understand, I'm just firing blanks

For an hour every day, my mouth is overfilled,
With better things to say than I threw in your face,
Forget that battered truth, I made it up myself,
How hard it might have been, your defense was a waste
