Too far down and it’s all uphill

Ghosts sitting on my windowsill
Drapes drawn but my body needs food
Guess it gives me a reason to move

Parched land with no hope of rain
Dry sand, all the colors drained
Somebody else has moved into my skin
All I’ve done don’t amount to nothing
Nothing I’ve done

Snake mind and it’s speaking in tongues
Dreamin scared but my feet won’t run
In my head dark clouds of sparrows
Pulse rate’s getting closer to zero
Look around but there’s nothing I see
In the mirror I don’t look like me
If there’s a tether then I lost it somewhere
Throw a rope if there’s anyone there
Throw a rope, anyone

My heart is pumping novocaine
And every day is just the same
Got no voice to shout
Can’t climb my way out
I’ve fallen too far down

Too far down and it’s all uphill
Ghosts sitting on my windowsill
Yellowjackets, I’m gonna get stung
Hornets’ nest, they’re swarming the sun

Black crows caw, picking at bones
Broken line on the telephone
Just don’t know who’s living in my skin
All I’ve done don’t amount to nothing
Nothing I’ve done       

Desolation leaves a stain
And every day is just the same
I got no voice to shout
Can’t climb my way out
I’ve fallen too far down

Fallen too far down
