Youthless

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
