lyrics

You can stop throwing your weight around.
It will not help you here.
No light gets in, and nothing makes a sound.
The sky is never clear.

I can't squeeze blood from the ground.

It's dead; it's not just slow. (Dark and barren, cold as stone.)
It’s buried; it’s not just low. (Turn the dirt and turn up bone.)
I should've come here years ago-- (Here below.)
A place where nothing grows.

I pull the hearts out of ambitious men.
They have so much to learn.
I will not lie down or play nice again.
I will not wait my turn.

You don't know how long it's been.

I should've done this years ago--
A place where nothing grows.

This hard land gave me
Nothing but a drought.
This garden saved me,
So why should I come out?

Maybe I'm the one who put me here,
But you are why I stay.

I should've built this years ago--
A place where nothing grows.
