There's a bottomless pit that we've been climbing from   Just to get on level ground   Shake your seasick legs around   Everyone in a logo town   Signs of life are stark and flickering      I need a bed to lay my body down   Dead weight to carry me 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 we're helpless and forgetting in the background holding nothing   And we're youthless and pretending in the bearhands holding nothing      There's a million horse dragging down a monolith   these trademarks so bereaved   Tied my leg to a barricade   with a plastic handgrenade   They tried to turn emotion into noise       I 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   To treading water in the past   While you try to reanimate something that you don't understand      And we're helpless and forgetting in the background don't saying nothing   And he's youthless and forgetting in the bare hymns tied to nothing      And he's helpless and forgetting in the background don't saying nothing   And he's youthless and pretending with his bare hands tied to nothing
