lyrics

There's some nights I hardly sleep
I feel the light go out from me
I hate to watch it slip right through my fingers
But what's the use of holding back
Something I obviously lack
If it can't hold onto me

Long after the sun has dried the earth
We are still wet with afterbirth
Our pride it breaks under the work
We are not paid to have self-worth

Sorry to spill all these words
Upon your pretty little dress
You swear your mind would never utter such
Oh come on, don't make me laugh
Everyone I know is cut in half
Yes there's two in each and every one
There's a good and there's a bad
A dirty thought I know you've had
Ma'am, there is an ugly side to life
Slice down the belly, pick for meat
There's enough for the world to eat
This carcass covers life like a warm blanket
You poke your holes, you let in light
But my skin's just too thick tonight
And I hate to lie

Long after the sun has dried the earth
We are still wet with afterbirth
Our pride it breaks under the work
We are not paid to have self-worth

Keep the light on me and everyone so we'll agree
That you never meant to hurt anyone
