Drive Like Jehu - Thin Ice Lyrics

Yea the weight of the world is on my shoulders
cause it's already broke the camel's back
& the payload is getting heavy and
I can tell the ice is about to crack
I think it's safe to say
the ice gets thinner every day
but if I can I'll back away
and thaw to freeze another day

sooner or later I'm gonna sink
whether it come crack or spring
there's no way I can cheat the drink
no matter how quick I think

cold flat feet drag like lead
frozen thoughts bog down my head
ice bend & break my brittle spine
freeze my mind

covered over by a cold grey sky
the air buries me alive
thin ice thaw, gimme mine.
