Sliver of light
Collects another day
For me to feed to the machine
That eats us hollow
When evil arrives
Soft as that old blanket
I was born to reap the fate
Of all that follows
Hey man
I can take it
It's my pain that keeps this world turning
How've you not considered?
I'm a sinner
I should die for you
Dead on the vine
No good thoughts escaping me
I fall down at the feet
Of every God I know to live
But all of the time
I'm bereft and uncourageous
And if you pour another drink
Then I could pour my heart in you
Hey man
I can take it
It's my pain that keeps this world turning
How've you not considered?
I'm a sinner
I should die for you
