From our mouths we foam like beasts
We only smile to show our teeth
The river running down this line
Is a border between what's yours and mine
And all our lives we serve ourselves
It's the common curse of might-as-well
For all we live to know is known,
And all we seek to keep has flown away
Hold tight dear love, holding on is all we've got
Oh, well, our bodies break before their time
A little strength is hard to find, but still I try
Oh, well, and surely now I do believe
That death is coming after me
This stone we push won't move itself
It brings to mind the hand we're dealt
So come on let's all break this down,
Cause we're still here, not in the ground
So come on let's all break this down,
Cause we're still here, not in the ground
Oh, well, our bodies break before their time
A little strength is hard to find, but still I try
Oh, well, and surely now I do believe
That death is coming after me
And if you leave hardly even knowing
The calm that's found in the silver lining
Oh, well, our bodies break before their time
A little strength is hard to find
Oh, well, and surely now I do believe
That death is coming after me
