You pour your tears on your toes You stand tall so you don't drown In this swamp where nothing grows Something always pulls you down You cry alone in the pool Waiting for the night to die In this world where cruel is cool Someone always makes you cry Bystander in your own wreck Kissing what's beneath the wheel There's a noose around your neck Intangible but too real Time is hanging by a thread And you are a marionette Life's a bullet in your head A hemorrhage of regret You pour your tears on your toes You stand tall so you don't drown In this swamp where nothing grows Something always pulls you down
