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

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 run-on sentences

And we're helpless and forgetting in the background

Holding nothing

And we're youth-less 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 reanimate something that you can't understand

And they're helpless and forgetting in the background

Saying nothing

And he's youth-less and forgetting with their bare hands

Touching nothing

And he's helpless and forgetting in the background

Saying nothing

And he's youth-less and pretending with his bare hands

Holding nothing
