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 that you carry round
The 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, saying nothing
And we're youthless and pretending
With the bare hands holding nothing

There's a million horses dragging down a monolith
These trademarks so bereaved
I tied my leg to a barricade
With a plastic hand grenade
That tried to turn emotion into noise
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
Treading water in the past
Trying to re-animate something
You can't even stand

And you're helpless and forgetting
In the background, saying nothing
And they're youthless and pretending
With the bare hands holding nothing

And they're helpless and forgetting
In the background, selling nothing
That we're youthless, and pretending
With the bare hands holding nothing
