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
