Oh, there's a lake down there where the water meets the sand and I've thought of it
There's an ocean out where I'm going and I've thought of that, too
Just to sink down to the bottom because I can't swim up for air
It'd ease the tension on everybody and I think about that everyday
When there's nobody around, I'd like to tie a noose
Just to hang it on a tree outside, but that's something I can't do
And so, there's a sink in here; we'll see what we can do with that
Fill it up with water and wait for the blood to break loose of my nostrils
Chorus:
Whether a martyr or a murderer
It's really all the same
Doesn't even matter how you choose to place the blame
Because in this foolish game
All the winnings amount to shame
We're all just plentiful pretenders who take on a different name
But now, I'll take a train, going to where it hardly rains
Where the heat won't soak my skin, but it'll feel like needles poking in
And way up high the telescopes fly like a motor pumping gas
The sun will rise, catching trees on fire; with no foreseen plans I might just burn my ass
Chorus
Cigarette burns on my hands; I hope it all comes to an end out there
I'll be sitting there, watching scenery evolve, as my life does as well
Mulling the question through my head as the humidity and I go our separate ways
Going down the tracks, wondering, "Is it really life or is it death I'm after?"
