Knavery - Burnout Lyrics

What does it mean?
How could this be?
I was only just beginning
To understand
Why I was losing
A winning hand
A cruel joke in the plot, like
Someone really gave it thought
Twisting in the knife
Going for the cheap shot
Is that all you've got
Is that all you've got?
Now I'm wasting all my days
Looking for an out
Just to melt away sitting on my couch
Proving everybody right
As if they had a doubt
I'm a burnout
Every night I grind my teeth
I'm sure I'm not just losing sleep
Everyday
I lose my way
Every morning I
Have to find it
Now I'm wasting all my days
Looking for an out
Just to melt away sitting on my couch
Proving everybody right
As if they had a doubt
I'm a burnout
Who could say if I
Ever really had a chance
What's the shame if all I do
Is sing and dance
The game is rigged
And we're all stuck
In a trance
And circumstance
Watching the sunrise in the city while the shadows still fall
Give into feeling that the world is big
And you're so small
Waiting for the day that I don't dread your call
Loosen your grip and make a choice
Because you can't have it all
If you need me
You can reach out
I can make the time
I can find you
Shoot a flare out in the night
I can save you
I can lead you to the light
But I can't make you fight
I never wanted you to see the way it was
The same pitfall that gets us all
Looking past the ugly reality
Lost in spite and irony
No dead weight
Tempting fate
No escape
No escape
