[Verse 1] Theres a bottomless pit that weve 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 Dead weight 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 runon sentences [Chorus 1] And theyre helpless and forgetting In the background holding nothing And theyre youthless and pretending With their bare hands holding nothing [Verse 2] Theres 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 cant get no relief And this life it goes by fast Youre treading water in the past Trying to reanimate something that you cant understand [Chorus 2] And theyre helpless and forgetting In the background saying nothing And hes youthless and forgetting With their bare hands touching nothing [Chorus 3] And hes helpless and forgetting In the background playing nothing And hes youthless and pretending With his bare hands holding nothing
