There's a bottomless pit that we've been climbing from

Just to get on level ground

Shake your seasick legs around

Dead of winter in a logo town

Signs of life are soft and flickering

Need a bed to lay my body down

Deadweight to carry down

Some static is lulling me to sleep

Hang your clothes on a chain link fence

In a junkyard say Amen

Your mouth is full of wordless hymns

And run-on sentences



And they're helpless and forgetting in the background holding nothing

And they're youthless and pretending with their bare hands holding nothing



There's a million horses dragging down a monolith

With these trademarks so bereaved

Tied my leg to a barricade

With a plastic hand grenade

They tried to turn emotion into noise

Need a teleprompter for my life

Need a pipeline to the night

My body can't get no relief

And this life it goes by fast

You're treading water in the past

Trying to re-animate something that you can't understand



And they're helpless and forgetting in the background saying nothing

And he's youthless and forgetting with his bare hands touching nothing



And he's helpless and forgetting in the background saying nothing

And he's youthless and pretending with his bare hands holding nothing
