Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Another year gone, stomach fatter, beard fully grown Waiting for the nothing and I'm awfully alone Sunday went and visited your grave Put a wild rose on the Virgin Mary engraved Mother sang her song, brother kneeled And I just kept on wishing that the last year wasn't real Teeth have sunk into my neck Teeth have sunk into my neck Build us a holiday Out of stones and holograms Holy relics and hummingbirds All to fill this hollow man I'm alright, I'm alright But don't f*ck with me tonight These fists are clenched and I will fight For every breath left in this life All the mosquitoes in Saskatoon Couldn't quite suck the tough out of me yet Although I know I'm a three-legged dog Hopping and begging like Vietnam vets These years are only appetizers Swallowed quick and wet But I will not forget The remnants that were left Build us a holiday Out of straw and out of sticks Out of claws and out of bricks Out of gauze and spit We're alive, barely alive But we're alive We're alive, barely alive But we're alive I make a fist, stare at it and think This is how big my heart is and I'm scared of it Till they use scissors to open my shirt I go to work, overworked in the business of holding a smirk Private jokes telepathically shared From the present me to the past me When I had more hair The tub remains clogged Sloshed through the memories of hooking up friends in need of jobs Didn't stop them from requesting loans It started with them calling me Boss In a condescending tone Put an indefinite extension on the zero interest Better business bureau, better be damn well prepared to be impressed We're reporting back to duty, heavily wounded Steadily losing our gains, the enemy moves in Gotta choose your weapons wisely When I bust open my ribcage and I unleash the fist that's beating inside me It'll punch more than clocks, check your peephole Cause there might not be more opportunity that knocks Door to door I'm selling artificial tears for your eyes Using a stethoscope just to hear your cries We're alive, barely alive But we're alive Surprise We're alive, barely alive But we're alive We're alive, barely alive But we're alive
