lyrics

hey, is it the ground that covers you up?
it's the grave that's never enough
is it your heart that's full of blood?

hey, is it the water filling your lungs?
it's the knife that cuts out your tongue
is it the freedom you were robbed of?

we go into holding on, straight to losing control
into love and despair, into bottomless holes
into what you despise, into enemy eyes
into what we all know's just ordinary life

hey, was it the life you wanted to live?
was it all you had to give?
was it the load you couldn't lift?

hey, was it the death you wanted to die?
did you get to close your eyes?
was it all nice and dignified?

we go into holding on, straight to losing control
into love and despair, into bottomless holes
into what you despise, into enemy eyes
into what we all know's just ordinary life

hey was it the joke you didn't get?
does it still make you upset?
you know it's not over yet
you're not dead yet

so go back to holding on, straight to losing control
back to love and despair, back to bottomless holes
back to what you despise, back to enemy eyes
back to what we all know's just ordinary life

oh it's just ordinary life
