Madison Cunningham - No One Else To Blame

How long can you make the joke
Before it makes you cry?
Before you ask your brother why
He’s a bully in denial
Blaming you all the while
For when your dad left the frame
And there was no one else to blame

How long can you take the smoke
Before you have to lie to yourself?
Well you say you’re on your last
Cigarette pack
But you’re not a 1950’s ad
I hate to say
It’s just another thing to blame

For the burden and the stress
For the heartache and the mess
You entertain
You put your money down
On which part of you is next
To slip down the drain
With nothing, nowhere and no-one
No-one else to blame

Another stick catches the spoke
But no one sees you fly
You’re gonna take the ground in style
Go down in leather and crocodile
Find some laundry pins and hang up a smile
Walk down another useless aisle

Well when will you confess
You find rest
In someone else's shame
Optimism at its best
Is just an educated guess
And it all looks the same
With nothing, nowhere and no one
No one else to blame
With nothing, nowhere and no one
No one else to blame
