Song Description
Running Out of Steam showcases the many talents of guitarist Timmy Baudier, The groove provided by Mark Liuzza drives the song. Mark played the drum sounds live in the studio through the keyboard, as he did on It's Not About You. The song is about a bully I used to know, but it could be about anyone who tries to steal your individuality and make you look small. They never win in the end as long as you don't let them.

Lyrics
Well you're standing right here
And talking me down
When you're turning my heart into stone
I can only be near with my head to the ground
And it doesn't matter now
You're a fine piece of work
Let me tell you some more
You can suck any soul from the room
And I'm keeping my faith
To the sound of your rage
And it doesn't matter now
'Cause I don't want your energy
And I can't stand your sympathy
'Cause you don't, you don't know a thing
Let my freedom ring
'Cause you don't know me at all
You Don't know me
You Don't know me at all
you don't don't know me
I depended on you
'Cause you wanted me to
I was hoping that you'd lend a hand
You invaded my space
Put it right cross my face
And it doesn't matter now
Now the day's finally gone
And another one breaks
As you're raising your voice to the world
But the words have no sting
'Cause they don't mean a think
'Cause you never mattered anyhow
'Cause don't want your energy....
'Cause I don't sweat the injury
'Cause I think, you fucking need therapy
'Cause you don't, you don't know a thing
Let my freedom ring
'Cause you don't know me at all
