Lyrics

[00:17.40] There's A bottomless pit
[00:18.27] That we've been Climbing from
[00:20.52] Just to get On level ground
[00:25.17] Shake your seasick Legs around
[00:27.64] Dead of winter In a logo town
[00:29.37] Signs of life Are soft And flickering
[00:32.11]
[00:33.38] Need a bed To lay my body down
[00:35.65] Deadweight to carry down
[00:37.56] Some static Is lulling me to sleep
[00:39.94]
[00:41.30] Hang your clothes On a chain link fence
[00:44.19] In a junkyard say amen
[00:46.04] Your mouth is full Of wordless hymns And run-on sentences
[00:49.72]
[00:50.08] And they're helpless And forgetting
[00:53.74] In the background Holding nothing
[00:57.58] And they're youthless And pretending
[01:01.87] With their bare hands Holding nothing
[01:05.61]
[01:06.94] There's A million horses Dragging down
[01:08.92] A monolith With these trademarks So bereaved
[01:14.77] Tied my leg To a barricade
[01:17.18] With a plastic Hand grenade
[01:19.47] They tried To turn emotion Into noise
[01:22.30]
[01:23.23] Need a teleprompter For my life
[01:25.55] Need a pipeline To the night
[01:27.27] My body Can't get no relief
[01:29.17]
[01:30.55] And this life it Goes by fast
[01:32.75] You're treading Water in the past
[01:34.77] Trying to re-animate Something
[01:37.31] That you Can't understand
[01:38.93]
[01:39.21] And they're helpless And forgetting
[01:42.80] In the background Saying nothing
[01:46.93] And he's youthless And forgetting
[01:51.30] With his bare hands Touching nothing
[01:55.32]
[02:03.05] And he's helpless And forgetting
[02:07.78] In the background Saying nothing
[02:11.88] And he's youthless And pretending
[02:16.11] With his bare hands Holding nothing
[02:20.08]
