The sound of cattle screaming
I can see my breath and I'm so thankful
Still screaming in my ears
For black to fill the sky
The same routine again
By ungrateful eyes, through 5-3 eyes
The sound of the ground freezing
The sound of bottles breaking
By ungrateful eyes, through 5-3 eyes
And gouge away the years
I can taste the earth
Sit down, dead weight and wonder
I'm looking up and west
Down at the stockyards, cattle screaming
Is pounding once again
Unsure, unslept, uncovered
Scrape open your eyes
Rise and fucking shine, 7 a.m.
The trains squeak by again
That once wiped off our smiles
It comes with the wind
Pushed to the ground again
I'm not one of them
And feel it in my eyes
They opened just in time to empty out
And hacked me off my years
Sit down, dead weight and wonder
The new light of dawn discovered
Sit down, dead weight and wonder
Unsure, unslept, uncovered
I'm looking back and down
And watching it go by
Schoolyard freaks are bleeding
Schoolyard freaks are freezing
Down getting kicked again
Still breaking in my ears
The new light of dawn discovered
The new light of dawn discovered
Alarm clock bells are screaming out
They came in metal coffins, chained me up
Unsure, unslept, uncovered
