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