Gonna lie at the edge of the sea And the tide's coming in just for me When you lost all the hope that you kept And the ocean's the tears that you wept Now I sink into the places I know How I shrink into the spaces I've outgrown But I hold on only for you (But I don't think I'm coming back) Cancer crawl, what can I do? (I don't think I'm coming back) These ribs, they are old barrel staves And they wait for the hungriest waves When you wake in the chains that you wore As lonely and cold as before Now I sink into the places I know How I shrink into the spaces I've outgrown But I hold on only for you (But I don't think I'm coming back) Cancer crawl, what can I do? (I don't think I'm coming back) Poor and I'm sick and I'm falling behind Limping barefoot through the shards of a shattered mind (And I don't think I'm coming back) Now I'm falling apart And I'm losing my head And I've thousands of holes in my sails And my bones, they are made of lead So, I push you away 'Cause I'm starting a war I'm nothing but driftwood Just mangled and worn washed up at your door But I hold on only for you (But I don't think I'm coming back) Cancer crawl, what can I do? (I don't think I'm coming back) Poor and I'm sick and I'm falling behind Limping barefoot through the shards of a shattered mind And I don't think I'm coming back I don't think I'm coming back
