[Verse]
C#m G# E F#
There's a bottomless pit that we've been climbing from
C#m G# E F#
Just to get on level ground
C#m G# E F#
Shake your seasick legs around
E F#
Dead of winter in a logo town
C#m G# E F#
Signs of life are soft and flickering
C#m G#
Need a bed to lay my body down
E F#
Dead weight to carry down
C#m G# E F#
Some static is lulling me to sleep
[Verse 2]
C#m G#
Hang your clothes on a chain link fence
E F#
In a junkyard say amen
C#m G#
Your mouth is full of wordless hymns
C#m G# E F#
And run-on sentences
C#m G# E
And they're helpless and forgetting in the background
F#
Holding nothing
C#m G# E
And they're youthless and pretending with their bare hands
F#
Holding nothing
[Verse 3]
C#m G# E F#
There's a million horses dragging down a monolith
C#m G#
With these trademarks so bereaved
E F#
Tied my leg to a barricade
C#m G#
With a plastic hand grenade
E F#
They tried to turn emotion into noise
C#m G#
Need a teleprompter for my life
E F#
Need a pipeline to the night
C#m G#
My body can't get no relief
E F#
And this life it goes by fast
[Verse 4]
C#m G# E F#
You're treading water in the past
C#m G# E F#
Trying to re-animate something that you can't understand
C#m G# E F#
And they're helpless and forgetting in the background saying nothing
C#m G# E F#
And he's youthless and forgetting with his bare hands touching nothing
C#m G# E F#
And he's helpless and forgetting in the background saying nothing
C#m G# E F#
And he's youthless and pretending with his bare hands holding nothing
