It slows me down
Head underwater
Wash me out
Fall down and keep me under
All waste and doubt
Trip and surrender
Will’s run out
Full weight that could keep me down

Sedate me now
Thicker and colder
This leaden crown
Push down upon my shoulders

Please slow it down
Add friction to boulder
Grind slower now
There’s no more to give right now

It slows me down
Head underwater
Wash me out
Fall down and keep me under
All waste and doubt
Trip and surrender
Will’s run out
Full weight that could keep me down

Post flood comes the drought
Pain runs out
And you put your hands up to the clouds
Just to fall back once again another year from now
