Latch to this life like a death grip We're satisfied with the mundane I'm keeping out of sight But still we are young We are young I'll stare the angels down Keep 'em in the back room Shut the door and let go
Now we stare at the grave Cold and paralyzed Pushing daisies while we still feel the sunshine We are young We are young Sift through the marigolds and please our damaged souls
[Pre-Chorus] This place is holding me Jump through the rope, let's make it credible When blood is all we see Life is impossible
[Chorus 1] Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling We're on the clock and the needle's turning The misery's killing me slowly Give me a spine to work it out
I'm just another one wandering endlessly on to the grave
The signs of the times are upon us So we're bleeding for tomorrow Sucking on the mother's dead tit of sorrow Sorrow It's alright, we'll learn it all before we go Snapped by the neck as we follow Chin up, I'm tying the rope Leaving all hollow
[Pre-Chorus] This place is holding me Jump through the rope, let's make it credible When blood is all we see Life is impossible
[Chorus 1] Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling We're on the clock and the needle's turning fast The misery's killing me slowly Give me a spine to work it out
[Chorus 2] No funeral, no pyre left burning This body's dust in the wind that's hurling past The misery's killing me slowly Give me a spine to work it out
I guess I will just leave things the way they are
[Pre-Chorus] This place is holding me (This place is holding me) Jump through the rope, let's make it credible (Credible) When blood is all we see Life is impossible
[Chorus 1] (Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling We're on the clock and the needle's turning The misery's killing me slowly Give me a spine to work it out)
[Chorus 1] Death is coming 'round like a hurricane swirling We're on the clock and the needle's turning fast The misery's killing me slowly Give me a spine to work it out
[Chorus 2] No funeral, no pyre left burning This body's dust in the wind that's hurling past The misery's killing me slowly Give me a spine to work it out
