lyrics

well the clock keeps ticking and the days do pass
and we’re all a little older, but not much taller or bolder
there’s a rot in my gut, dunno if it’ll last
but i sure feel like shit, push it down don't let it sit

I’m sittin' on my bed, lying through these dog days
hoping for adventure, and seeking simple pleasure
cause its easier than thinking, just light it all ablaze
don't let the truth sink in, deny it like your sins


well there’s an otter in the sky
and there's a rat in my life
and we’re all sons of bitches
and anxiety’s our mistress

cause the road is long and hard
and the river leaves you scarred
cuts through all your rope
who knows how we can cope


and here’s to those bastards who've held on the whole way
don't know if you can last, they seem to drown real fast
once the ship gets a leak the captain rarely stays
maybe he’s waiting for a bullet, to rupture the wood

he was waiting to jump, maybe the crew never fit
but memories last forever, and the ropes weren't gonna sever
and we’re sitting here, floating on weak shit
but it saves us from the river, that drowns and delivers


well there’s an otter in the sky
and there's a rat in my mind
and we’re all sons of bitches
and anxiety’s our mistress

cause the road is long and hard
and the river leaves you scarred
cuts through all your rope
who knows how we can cope

who knows

how we

can cope
