| 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 fuck 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 were 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
|
| We’re alive, barely alive, but we’re alive
|
| We’re alive, barely alive, but we’re alive
|
| 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
|
| 'Til 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 rib cage 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 |
