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
