No One Else To Blame - Madison Cunningham

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
