Day after day
Press onto each other
Week after week
Running for coverWhile the ants and spiders
They tear at your skin
The beast in the shadows is
Your only friendAnd the promise of tomorrow
Is a pale gray ghost
who'll pile on the tears
Pile on the tearsSee who can pile on the most
Till you can't stand
And you're down n your knees
And the whole world wants youAnd it's begging you please
And you're almost home
But you'll never make it
It's heavy too heavyTo make it alone
And the worlds like bullets
Fly from your lips
And stack into ruinsAnd break me to bits
And tumble from the air
And ruin my clothes
And sink me down lowAnd the screams don't worry
And the crabs have enough to eat
At the bottom of the ocean
Where the darkness sleepsAnd the weight of the world presses down down down
Till it cracks your bones
