It'll never end, until it gets so bad that the ink fills in our fingerprints
Please take these hands throw me in the river
And all the monuments and skyscrapers burned down and filled the sea
9 to 5, 9 to 5
Is it always just always ahead of the curve?
Please take these hands throw them in the river
Don't let me drown before the workday ends
Save our ship the anchor is part of the desk
Please someone, teach me how to swim please, don't let me drown

Wash away the things they never held
We will not lie awake in our parents beds tossing and turning

We can't cut free, the water is flooding the decks
I can see them but they don't touch me, touch me

All those breaths that you took have now been canceled in your lungs
And we're up to our necks,drowning in the seconds
And the silhouette of your own face becomes the black cloud of war
These ties strangle our necks, hanging in the closet
Please, don't let me drown
On the resume stored in the mainframe, marked for delete
Everyday it's like the last waiting for the life to start
Filed in the cubicle, without a name, just numbers

Ingesting the morning commute lost in a dead subway sleep
Wash away the things they never held
The memo's sent through the currents computer's spark like flares
They're dressed for the funeral in black and white
Just keep making copies of copies of copies
And even in our dreams we're so afraid the way we'll offset who we are
Last night my teeth fell out like ivory typewriter keys

Please take these hands throw me in the river
Please take these hands throw them in the river

When will it end?
Don't let me drown before the workday ends
Tomorrow we'll get up drive to work, single file with
