Youthless

[Intro] [Verse] 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   [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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
