From the recording Make No Mistake
Lyrics
Meaningless © 2020 Brian Kaplan
Some other time
Before the world was cracked
The truth that you told
Didn’t make people laugh
The calm in your voice
Was the calm in your soul
There was never a question
About who’s in control
There was work to be done
There were bills to be paid
Friendships to heal
And lives to be saved
But you started to slip
You loosened your grip
Kicked the ball off the playing field
Spilled your blood on the playing field
Like a watchdog that won’t protect
Mirrors that won’t reflect
Faith that you can’t believe
Air you don’t dare to breathe
Meaningless
Some other crime
You once would not commit
Screams out your name
And leaves fingerprints
The calm in your voice
Has turned into a roar
Locked in a room
Without windows or doors
There was work to be done
There were bills to be paid
Friendships to heal
And lives to be saved
But you started to slip
You loosened your grip
Kicked the ball off the playing field
Spilled your blood on the playing field
Like a watchdog that won’t protect
Mirrors that won’t reflect
Faith that you can’t believe
Air you don’t dare to breathe
Meaningless
Just meaningless
A watchdog that won’t protect
Mirrors that won’t reflect
Faith that you can’t believe
Air you don’t dare to breathe
Meaningless
Mirrors that won’t reflect
Faith that you can’t believe
Air you don’t dare to breathe
Meaningless
Just meaningless
Just meaningless
To me
