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
The 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 saying nothing
And they're youthless and pretending
With their bare hands holding nothing
There's a million horses dragging down a monolith
These trademarks so bereaved
Tied my leg to a barricade
With a plastic hand grenade
Tried to turn emotion into noise
Teleprompter for my life
Need a pipeline to the night
My body can't get no relief
And this life it goes by fast
Treading water in the past
Trying to re-animate something that you can't even stand
And you're helpless and forgetting
In the background holding nothing
And they're youthless and pretending
With the bare hands judging nothing
And they're helpless and forgetting
In the background saying nothing
And we're youthless and pretending
With the bare hands holding nothing
