lyrics

Ain’t No Weight Young Lad Can’t Take

Let us resign on / Counting breaths we're taking / Tonight, matter only those we hold /
Matter only those we hold / Caught somewhere in between? / Looped scenes run over and over? Are you in? Listening? / 1-2-3-4 / I’m on strike somehow, with both “forever” and “just for now”/ Words of a semi-hedonist / Asking the thousandth time / Is it? / Is it all there is to this? / Is it all? / Is it all there is to this? Is it all there is to this feeble imitation? / That’s all but giving / Gnaws like acid the moment you give in / Was it all just a little thrill? / Or being a part of this awful joke? / What if I couldn't find hands apart from mine to wrap around and squeeze your throat? / Razors running up and down your spine sealed your fate / Now the weight was something young lad couldn't take / So we keep marching to these corporate anthems of today / And then snap, all mouths go agape/ As gravity rids another of his aches / Could somebody please give us a break / (or) Anything… / ...Anything that would break the curse / Cleanse my life of/ ‘needs’ /and ‘wants’/ so at the end /of days/ the man / drops dead /with more/ gains to match the loss / Bear witness to the greatest man's defeat / Inherent urges that he ought to feed / Are you ready for more? / More sweat, strained tendons / Soiled teeth, bruised ribs beneath your ragged clothes / Let us resign on counting breaths we're taking / Tonight matter only those we hold / Does it ring a bell now, does it strike a chord?
