..............................................
They'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone
They'll take a jack and break your ribs apart
Ah but there never was a weakness
In the muscles working ceaseless
Strength was not the problem with your heart
You made a trade to conquer your wilderness
They took your time, you took what they paid
Ah but you never saw reactions
Or really heard the satisfaction
From the people who could use the things you made
Chorus:
So it's like you carry all the water
On a long desert trip
And then you die of dehydration
When you never take a sip
You had a place, a house in a neighborhood
It was okay, but still you dreamed of more
More than the lives that grew around you
More than the friends that finally found you
There was a grander life that you were working for
Chorus
They said your heart always was strong enough
To do the work it was meant to do
And the attack you underwent
Was from a lack of nourishment
Your heart was starving for the blood it gave to you
Your heart is dying for the life you're pushing through
Chorus
So they'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone
They'll take a jack and break your ribs apart
Ah but there never was a weakness
In the muscles working ceaseless
Strength was not the problem with your heart
They'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone
